Week 40
Last week’s spectacular mileage stands in stark contrast to this week’s mileage, which is less than half. On Monday, my itchy foot tops sent me to the urgent care to find out why the hell my feet are super itchy (again, not on the soles, but on the tops). I was prescribed some kind of special ointment to clear it up (contact dermatitis), so I missed Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, I got out of my cube late and ended up 16 miles short for the day. Thursday and Friday were great riding days, with a new chain and back tire replacement on Friday. On Saturday, the high temperature was 63°F and it was extraordinarily windy.
Sounds like a good day to sit out to me. In order, though, to get some other things done that I’ve been working on lately, I’m going to trim my schedule back a little bit for next week.
