Saturday evening, I wrote the post for Sunday morning. I wrote how that I was concerned about getting my training in this week. It is going to be busy week. Looked like trying to fit everything in was going to be a little stressful. Then I saw the plan and the pressure lifted!

I typically see my training schedule for two to three weeks in advance. I see the next three weeks just as I am beginning to head into them. Since my weeks run Monday through Sunday and I was at the end of the period, I did not know what this week would hold. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this is scheduled to be a rest week!

It makes sense. Jim told me that I was on a two-week-on/one-week-off schedule. What threw me off were the weekends of racing. It messed up the routine and had me wondering what week I was in.

So, for this week, I have three days off in a row. I’ll pick up again on Thursday. Thursday and Friday will be prepping me for Saturday. That day I have my next Functional Threshold Test. The good news for me is that the projects keeping me busy this week will all end around 2 PM on Saturday. I’ll be able to then turn my attention to my test. Who knows, maybe the feeling of relief will help me reach my highest wattage yet.

For now, I’m just thankful that things are working out. Real life and training don’t have to conflict so much this week. Ahhhhhhhh!
