…”I feel fine…” <in my bestest nasally voice>
Today I am dosed up on Neurofen, all thanks to the pain in my quads. Graham poked them last night and I almost hit the roof. It actually feels less like the usual deep muscular pain and more like someone has cut the fronts of my thighs with razor blades!
So while I had the run endurance required for Saturday’s outing, what I lacked was the time on my feet on downhill terrain, particularly jumping down all those drop-offs on the track.
I took advantage of yesterday’s rest day, but I’m not sure how I’ll get on my bike today for my recovery ride (when I have to use every piece of furniture available to me just to even stand up).
I feel like I did after last year’s Spring Challenge. 
Well you know…..you’re not getting any younger

GYM+weights = strength in legs for hills

Oh dear. I just read out to Mark how you’re using every piece of furniture to stand up. I promptly stood up – unaided – and said: Tada!
My left quad is tender and I can feel it every step. The right is about 90% fine.
Still, I was such a Nana and didn’t jump down many drop offs. Instead I’ve managed to get sore lats from grabbing anything and everything I could to help me gracefully tip tow down the drop offs.
My ride to work was painfully slow. Mark’s informed me he could have gone faster
