(51 weeks post-op) i felt strong this weekend. i did the fastest 50 miles so far. i'm a long way from laying down 19.4 mph for 75 like i did when i was in shape (7 years ago) but hey, progress is progress. i dropped almost a pound this week and my legs are super strong so i'm sure i'm over the plateau. got the hotter'n hell hundred this saturday, so i'm not riding more than hour during the week. one thing i realized was that resting...completely...isn't a good idea. i took the work week off last week only to have the most painful first hour on my 50 miler saturday morning. riding a little the day before a big event is definitely the best. that said you definitely don't want to cook yourself before either.
next week will be the anniversary of the surgery that put me back on the right path. like i tell everyone. the first 3 months were magic because you COULDN'T eat enough to gain. but after that you can. which means you have to watch what you eat and exercise... diet and exercise... just like everyone else. no big secret. if i showed most people my garmin data they'd pass out with all the miles i put in. when i put them. and how often i put them in. in other words IT AINT MAGIC. it's work!!! i'm just trying to keep it real for those that are thinking about going down this path. it's a lifelong lifestyle change.
