Since the State Championship race, the weather in Memphis has been chilly and wet. I’ve taken to the trainer for my workouts both Tuesday and today (yesterday, I had a “fun with mud\/gravel” recovery ride on the CX bike wearing road tires). In case you were ever wondering, road tires don’t work well on the greasy mud in Shelby Farms.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the recent deluge of training intensity finally started to make me feel a little worn out. Today, after a good nights sleep, breakfast, and some laying around watching reruns of American Dad on Hulu, I finally made it upstairs to the pain cave of awesomeness:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The South Park was just warm-up entertainment. Once I got to the real workout, it was straight Glitch Mob Radio on Pandora. Two hours later, I exit the cave, covered in sweat and trying not to fall down the stairs as my quads shake in surrender. I then proceeded to down a recovery drink, some leftover seafood pasta, and a couple of chocolate truffles before passing out hard for a solid 45 minutes. Upon waking, I realized that I’d drooled on my pillow and was being used as a bed by no fewer than 3 animals.<\/p>\n

Post-workout power naps are the best.<\/p>\n

Once out of the bed, I went to the mailbox and found that it had leaked on to some important mail:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(bonus shot of my medal from the weekend)<\/p>\n

Luckily, the contents inside the envelope were still viable, and my “team vehicle” is now looking pretty boss:<\/p>\n

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise- I’ve been riding Maxxis tires<\/a> ever since I discovered the awesome-ly light\/knobby Ignitor (the Ignitor front\/Ikon rear has now been dubbed the “Andrea Combo” at the shop). I’m looking forward to “officially” repping them (along with Outdoors, of course) in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

That’s your brief report on adventures in rainy weather. Stay tuned for next week, where I’ll be switching from organized intervals to CX skills\/intervals. Spoiler alert- they’ll be outside, regardless of weather…<\/p>\n
