Week 17 stats and thoughts

Not quite a week off but the lightest one for over a year. Didn’t feel like I needed to take the time off yet, but usually I fall into the trap of slowly fading until I get sick or injured, now was the perfect gap in the race calendar to throttle back voluntarily instead. After running on fumes in the back part of last season I figured it doesn’t make sense to go with the same strategy and expect different results.
Nice to be back to my apartment for the first time in 8 months. Nice roads. Nice food. Nice beer. Good for the soul.

Week 16 stats and thoughts

Solid race week at Tour of Hainan. Very present in the race but not very present at the top of the results sheet. Strong enough to be active each day but not quick enough uphill or fast enough in a sprint to do much other than be a nuisance.
First week cracking four figures on the bike this year and enjoyed most of them, even with the textbook Hainan humidity.
