On the road again

The high ankle sprain (or whatever it is) seems to have been tamed by the rest.

Sooooo...

I'm back on the road tomorrow. A friend of mine and I are taking a 16 mile tour through Austin in the morning. It's an uphill ride the first half, then cruising down a steady grade back to downtown.

It's not the hardest ride, but it's enough to get the work in and feel out the injury. I could jump today so I think I'm past the worst of it.

I lost a lot of training time, but I was more interested in getting healthy and not compromise my fitness going into the race. I think what's most in need is my swim stroke, but I can get through the 400 meters.

Recovery from tomorrow's ride should be fairly simple, but stretching will be very important since I have a 30 mile ride in store on Saturday morning.

I'll be swimming and running on Sunday, and then a little fun with an indoor soccer match on Monday. We're less than 30 days away and I'm anxious to get to El Paso.
