PM: 90' on gravel bike. 149W. HR 135.

Cleared myself to ride. It was way too nice out. Tricep was achy and sore. Elbow fine. Descending dirt road hills at speed is scary again. 

Not exacly sure, but I think I might have crashed in excess of 30 MPH. Hard to tell from different data sets.

PM: 2 hours 50' gravel bike. 199W. HR 159.

Gave it a hard effort for the Oakland County section of the Polly Ann. Took 4th (not a lot of people have harder efforts on the whole section). 55:40. 17.9 MPH. 250W. HR 168. Kept it pretty moderate for the next two hours. Beautiful out. Downhills still very scary.

PT session #10.

Lunch: 3.2 miles, averaged 9:48. HR 149.

Mentally all over the place. Can't concentrate on running and enjoying it. Making an effort to rebuild and do less riding I think. Hard because riding is more fun.

Meeting with the surgeon. He thinks PT has been too conservative, but they have been waiting for me to get clearance from him. He jacked my arm and showed me what was possible. I really wanted to punch him.

PM: 2+ hours on the fat bike @ Orion Oaks. 138W. HR 141.

Put some power meter medals on my bike. I really don't need them, but I want them for winter as a backup for the trainer, which apparently autocalibrates and I don't fully trust it.

It was really nice to be out on my fat bike. I had a good tuneup, which it hasn't had since I bought it. Orion Oaks is quite lovely in the fall.

Off.

Mom, Katie, and Delia arrived in the morning. I was in the middle of class and had to drive to Southfield to teach. Nice to have family when you aren't feeling great and your elbow is crap.

PM: 60' on the trainer. 185W. HR 139.

Planned on longer, but the buffalo chicken pizza from the night before got me.

PT session #12. Sore and stiff from Wednesday. Cranked up the intensity and it is very uncomfortable.

Wanted more time but I think my stomach was still a mess or the boys were getting up. We did the boys' birthday stuff with my family. Sad to see them go tomorrow.
