I sprained my wrist pretty bad about a month ago on an Epic singlespeed ride
(dirt). To make a long story short, the last two weeks have seen very little
training in order to allow my wrist to finish healing.
Now Sea Otter is coming up in a couple weeks and I am far from ready for it.
My plan was to continue this week on my normal training schedule. This
Saturday we'll be pre-riding the Sea Otter Course, and on Sunday I'll be
riding all day (aiming for a dirt century in training for a solo 24 Hours of
Laguna Seca - I try for this once or twice a month). Monday will be a
recovery day. Then follow up next week (the week before Sea Otter) with
tapering intervals, Tuesday through Thursday. Rest day on Friday. Preride
the Sea Otter course again Saturday, race Sunday.
Just curious if anyone has any advice or comments on any of this. I don't
hope to podium at the Sea Otter, but my goal is to make the top 30 in the
cross country race. Normally I wouldn't worry about it, but with the lack of
recent training I'm not sure if what I'm doing is best. I haven't lost too
much fitness, but definitely enough to feel the difference.
Thanks!
