Cramp = Bruised Calf?

Bit of an up and down week this one, to be fair. Didn’t ride yesterday because my calf felt bruised – painful to the touch, which I can only put down to the cramp from Thursday’s ride. That’s a new one on me if so.

Today my right calf has still felt tight. But between the choices of yet another rest day and a light ride, I figured a light ride wouldn’t do me too much harm. And I feel vindicated having done it. To be truthful I also feel like I could put in a longer ride tomorrow, as whilst it felt really tense before getting on the bike, it felt fine enough once on and spinning.

Aside from that, not a huge amount to report today. I’m still mucking around with my PC setup, but today I had more luck with getting the Wahoo Tickr to pair with Zwift. I’m still a little wary of the numbers it’s throwing off.

If the weather remains as it is I am doubtful I will get outdoors tomorrow. It’s so windy up here lately. But if it looks clear I do have a longer ride planned. Not holding out too much hope at the moment. Worst case, I might go for a shorter outdoors effort if it’s windy, just to get out of the house.

Anyway, we shall see.
