I finally got a full week of riding again. The first couple of days felt like I was starting over from a week-long break, which is pretty much what happened. I also decided to start my 3 week block over again. Breaks of 3 days and 4 days in two weeks means no real progress in fitness training, so this week was all about getting the engine warmed up again, before I tackle the higher cadence training. Plus, after my bike was in for repairs, I had to spend some extra time dialing in the shifting because of chain rub and some fine tuning on the cassette.

It's getting towards the end of the year, so I'm comparing my SchmoBike 2014 to SchmoBike 2010. My peak fitness range is about 2 percent faster on the flats, and all my climbing records are moot from 2010. When I'm beating my old self by 3 or 4 minutes on a 2 mile climb, I just need to stop caring about those old records. That's what happens when you lose 25 pounds of fat and replace it with 10 pounds of muscle.
