We went for our final Seven Springs training ride on Friday and Saturday. My nutrition was off and my bike had mechanical difficulties. My brakes were rubbing and my rear axle was loose. This made my bike unstable and I used a lot of unnecessary energy trying to ride the darn thing. I did one lap with the loose axle. After it was fixed, I was more stable on the second lap. I did two laps with the bad brakes. I figured out what was wrong with them and properly adjusted them for the third lap. I felt strong on the third lap.

For this week, I will work on some hills. I will climb Bear Hollow Trail a few times to give the legs a good workout and I will get my bike into the shop. This week is really the last work week for training. Next week will just be rehab.
