Training objective: after a long weekend it's big recovery time before we start with the block sessions. Rest day Monday and again on Tuesday. Recovery ride on Wednesday for 45 minutes, just spinning the legs at a cadence of 80-90 rpm's. Kept it light on the pedals and really focused on keeping the heart rate low, using some high-elevation simulations to train the heart to use oxygen to fuel the muscles more efficiently. I find the breathing exercises really help keep the cadence nice and smooth, too. The KNMI weather bureau on Wednesday issued a code yellow weather warning, saying thunderstorms are set to hit most of the country late afternoon and in the evening, following a day of tropical temperatures. weather bureau on Wednesday issued a code yellow weather warning, saying thunderstorms are set to hit most of the country late afternoon and in the evening, following a day of tropical temperatures.

It was hot and humid out there alright, but I'm not complaining!
