Post surgery I created a very detailed roadmap to get me back where I wanted, some of it was rooted in reality, and some of it was a bit fantastical. I labeled the fantastical stuff as my “stretch goals” and the rest as my actual targets. So far I’m within 5% of where I wanted to be, and I actually think at least one of my fantastical stretch goals is attainable, so I’m pretty pleased.
That being said, I have a ramp test scheduled for 8 January as its the day that my road map ended up placing the start of the next phase. So I was tempted to test today, but I resisted. Instead I am about to head out on my annual NYD outdoor ride, with absolutely no performance goal whatsoever specified for it. For the record, its 42 degrees, foggy, and wet, so the ride may be short…
