Active Monkey Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Did my 1st 94.7 on sunday. Don't feel to bad apart form being badly sunburnt. Slight stiffness behind my knees. How ling must i recover before i can train again?
V12man Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 You can train today if you like - just play it by feel, if you feel ok, carry on, if you feel exhausted, give it another day off.
Cheese Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Why did you not train yesterday, A recovery ride of an hour would have done you good unless you were nackered and good not get out of bed.
Active Monkey Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Noting really sore... Just the skin that burned. My bibs moved up slightly and i have a half a cm line on my legs burnt badly...
Iron Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Easy ride the day after to help recovery and ease stiffness , then tuesday off . wed back on the bike as per normal and resume again till the next race . Well thats what i normally do after each hard race/training weekend . But each to his own , listen to your body Edited November 20, 2012 by Iron

So...what do you guys have to say about my recovery/rest.???As I need to train for 70.3...And this is quite a setback for me... Any help or advice will help a lot.....
HappyMartin Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Interesting Spinnekop. People always tell me less is more I never believe them. This year did a ride to Clarens, 3 weeks later ride to Durban. Three weeks later the Berg and Bush. A week later the Jacaranda and now my worst 94 in 5 years. To get back on track with the thread, I think there is more to it than meets the eye

Yo Iron, Its not the typical hair folical story....I was on google the whole day yesterday.... Do you maybe think my undies could have caused it in the Spinning class?? its like a straight line if irritation on the Right side..between leg/sack area exactly where the bottom takes the pressure onto the saddle....small open section on the line as well What was your time on that Singlespeed on Sunday???
dino Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Not sure if I really believe in resting after a race. I take a day off and then train as usual. Don't really believe in taking a week off prior to a race either. I trained every day until the 94.7 (boxing, swimming, gym, riding) and felt super strong on the day. I just think you should listen to your body. If you feel strong, go train. If you are buggered, take a day off, it's not going to kill you and won't affect your fitness in the greater scheme of things.

'Dale Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Seems the seam of the onderbroek cut into the tissue. Bactroban and baby powder - Boom! StumpJumPer 1

Active Monkey Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 Why you not use sun tan cream, J....Or did you?Tough lesson learnt, I guess. I did... But like a chop only where the skin shows. Didnt bargain on the shorts moving

Oh ok . dont spin in undies , use your cycling shorts . could be the elastic that cut/rubed you and 2h58
