Met up with Glenn and Brandon for a cold 3 hour ride. Temp was 28/20 but the sun was out and the wind was minimal. We rode out with the wind, contrary to our usual method.

I wasn't feeling great today. I spend most of the ride flirting with the "red line" for the EM range. I was rarely ever below 155 and spent a significant amount of time a tick or two above the red line. I didn't feel horrible, but just felt like I was working harder than I should have been for the pace we were doing.

I had disruptive sleep the last two nights, and add to that the fact that this is my "big week" in the cycle, and that is probably 90% of the reason.

I came home, took in a bottle of Accelerade and a large bottle of water, took a hot shower and ate homemade from scratch pizza.

Tomorrow is another 3 hour ride and the last for this week. Next week is a rest week with a whopping 4.5 hours of riding in the plan. I do have a Field Test on Wednesday morning, which I am most definitely not looking forward to.
