A Dog's Life Today

Today . . . today was supposed to be a “recovery ride” . . . lower intensity from yesterday’s work output of cleaning multiple hills. Ha! Today was sweet secret single-track -- black forest area and all new single track! Hours of it!
Today . . . was heaven on a mountain bike. Today . . . it was multiple hours of flowing oh so tight single track! Tight, tight corners -- obstacles to huck on short steep descents and to navigate over in sudden short inclines. Today . . . transitions came fast demanding quick decision-making for handling each one or sudden consequences! Today . . . was about committing to a line and sticking to it.

Jeff H stated today was closest to . . . a pack of excitable dogs let off leash, sniffing out all the numerous single track trails – Excitable! Adrenaline rushing! Panting from exertion! Energy bursting! Thigh busting! Rabbit (trail) over there! There’s another one! Heaven for a dog.

No, today wasn’t over-training. Today was glorious living . . . it was a dog's life!
Be well . . .
