19 Weeks Post Surgery

It's been a few weeks

Highlights:

My 6X5(5) set my FTP at 205 which is in the ballpark of where I'd hoped to be.

After my 150 mile week I went back to 200+

Week ending 2/23/25 201.6 miles.

Week ending 3/2/25 215.33 miles.

Week ending 3/9/25 269.31 miles.

I spent some time in Arizona visiting a friend (2/28 to 3/9).  In that time I rode 381.9 miles, most of it was easy riding.

I have really slacked off on my exercises, I need to get back to that.  My shoulder is probably near 90% right now, it's good but not all the way back.  I've done Madison in practice twice now, last night with Derek and 2 weeks ago with Jon H.  I was a little sore after riding with Jon but this morning I felt perfectly fine.  Most of my exchanges were 100% and not holding back.

I swam twice while in Arizona without issues.  I kept the volume down to just over 1000 yds and I was fine.  I'll probably bump up to 1500 soon.

I've bumped my running distance up to ~3 miles with no issues.  I just need to balance that effort with bike training.

I decided to race this weekend at the Lexus Velodrome.  I'll likely be a "B" rider which is where I was before.  Drew and I made a deal to ride together for the Madison both race days.

I weighed in at 146.9 lbs this morning.  It's closer to my goal but likely because I didn't eat last night after practice.  I'd like to get down to 142 lbs again.
