Ketorolac has a reputation for being stronger than ibuprofen and it’s not supposed to be used more than 5 days. I doubt there is good evidence for either of these, but if you have normal kidney function I think it’s reasonable to try. Remember to take some fiber and/or laxatives with the Percocet or you may get quite constipated. Heal up ASAP!

Learn to grip the down tube bottle the slightly awkward way you see pros do it. I know it looks strange, but it works. Then do it without breaking cadence.

Go to closing this morning and after being told last night everything was ready. It appears it still is not, and no clear timeline on when it will be. Now I am angry.

I pulled the plug on training. There are a couple crits this weekend at the same track we've been on for the past 3 races, and my stoke level hit bottom. Training stupid hard for the Steamboat Stage race, and they changed the course to straight up, then straight down, partially on dirt. I'm sveldt, but I'm not a waif, so piss on that, Dirt? Double that sentiment. TT, the same thing. Ride 45 minutes out of town because there's no parking at the course start, then climb and descend... Phooey. It's also like the town didn't even want us there, even though we spend dollars... I know I drop a chunk with food, hotel, and the rest. Plus, our air was judged top in the top 5 of the worst out there. I can't remember if it was the world, or just the U.S. but it sucked.
I was doing my 5x5' VO2 Max and on the third one, I was even with my truck 4 minutes in, and my body took a right to the truck instead of finishing the last minute, and I've been off the bike ever since. I'll jump back on in the middle of the month, I suppose, but 2 years straight of structured riding took its toll.

I don’t even know. It’s the process in general. Informing me at 10 pm the day before closing that another verification is needed from my employer, employer saying it will be ready and then can’t be reached. Now it’s the First time homeowners loan getting held up. To me it should be black and white. Get what you need, have it ready days before closing and no issues will arise. I just happened to be off but what the hell if I had needed to take the day off. They can’t even give me a clear time frame of when this new required document will come in. And I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another required document after that one.

When I am riding solo, it's fine. A non issue. But I do ride with my friends, and believe it or not, we often will ride for 1-2 hours STRAIGHT without a stop. I suppose I can stop and switch, then snap back to the others but that's hard work. Some of my friends are serious cyclists.

i have 0 miles and it’s currently raining.
our closing got pushed to Monday though due to the seller’s attorney being unresponsive so I can get some miles in tomorrow.
i hate attorneys (no offense to any here)

I have been going pretty hard for the last two weeks and planning to try and carry a positive ramp through next week's TT to the weekend of the 12th when Long-suffering Spouse and I go cruising for two weeks, but we'll see...

Sad. I am hoping to do the epic Lancaster County Bridge Ride on Saturday, but looks like Laura may be crashing the party. If the weather holds out I am on track to at least get close to 200 for the week.
