Training is Killing Me!

After seeing the results of last weeks race, 17/19, it kind of depressed me. I thought I had done better then that. I started well, with the main pack and only had two guys pass me. I ended up passing three other people I though. Maybe more got a DNF. I should take things in stride considering my training.

Speaking of training, I got up Sunday and felt really sore which I thought was unusual considering I though I stretched pretty good. Monday I still had a lingering pain in my hip/lower back and took the day off. Tuesday I was determined that a good stretch on the bike would help so I tried riding and after 40 minutes decided it was doing more harm then good. It's Thursday and I'm still sore. I guess I won't be riding this weekend. Kills me, the competitive nature just wants to compete but if I can' t train then it isn't a good idea. Too bad, weather is supposed to be sunny and low 50's this weekend. Maybe I'll try and hop on the bike tonight.
