Doubling Down

I surprised even myself last night when after the usual Martini and dinner I togged up, threw leg over the Gitane and headed to the Y for a weight workout. I forget sometimes how cool it is to ride after dark, literally and figuratively. The weight workout went well - my first power endurance session, but what was more remarkable was that I'd done the extremely taxing test TT in the morning. It has been quite a while since I doubled up on a workout. All the coaches agree that you should make your hard days really hard and your easy days easy so at least I got the first part of that right yesterday. No real soreness to speak of today, but I am still coughing up phlegm as a result of the TT. I didn't quite taste blood from that effort, but it was close.
