Unrecovered

I guess I'm either having a particularly hard time recovering from last weekend's rides (which I didn't think were exceptionally difficult in the first place), or there's something else going on. Anyway, my neck and upper back are still sore and I just generally feel lousy. I sure hope things are more or less back to normal before it's time for me to torture myself this Sunday at Rouge-Roubaix. Perhaps I should have gotten more sleep last night. Problem was, I had to rebuild the the BikeReg registration website for our upcoming 2-Person Time Trial. Apparently BikeReg had a major hardware (and planning?) failure shortly after I had set up the original site. Anyway, I guess I ended up fooling with websites until almost midnight (again).

The Velo-News Race and Ride Guide that arrived in my mailbox the other day had a nice little writeup on the Rouge-Roubaix. Nice!

At least it was somewhat warmer this morning. It was still chilly by my standards, but there's a big difference between upper 30s and upper 40s, especially when it starts getting warmer as soon as the sun comes up. The wind was still a long way from calm, but much improved compared with the last few days. Our morning training ride group numbered about ten, I guess, and everyone seemed happy to roll along at a nice moderate pace which made for an enjoyable, if unremarkable, ride.

Work was difficult today, mainly because I seemed to be having a lot of trouble concentrating. Hell, I had a lot of trouble just staying awake half the time. So anyway, I'm hoping I'm not coming down with the head cold that seems to be going around lately.
