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!
