Weekly Summary
First, Chris King really liked my review of their bottom bracket and featured it on their Facebook page – I got a lot of new visitors on the blog because of that post. Thank you for that!
On the not so positive side, I was down with a pretty nasty cold after my Z4 ride on Monday. Tuesday I was feeling a little under the weather so I only did the weight training in the morning. The following day I was really congested and had a nasty headache, so I took it easy and could start easily on Thursday. I lost about 2h training time on the bike, however, I trained smart and still had a nice training week. It snowed pretty hard on Saturday so the Group Ride was cancelled, however, the snow turned into rain on Sunday so the coming week I might be able to ride outside, albeit through rain and mud.
The draft of my Nutrition section is coming up nicely; it should go live in the coming week so stay tuned!
