Since I'm not a cyclist I have no idea if 63 miles for the week is good or not.  I have no goals of breaking certain miles per week, although 100 miles sounds like a reasonable challenge.  I'm basing my work load on the amount of time I spend riding.  After talking to a few triathletes around work, I can tell you with 100% certainty that I'm not following doctrine...  Don't care. 

I was running upwards of 5 hours per week, so I imagine I'll need to cycle that much, or more, to sustain my cardio for the next 5 weeks.  Week 1 was a success, in my opinion.  My quads are tender and my metabolism hasn't slowed down, so I must be getting something out of the workouts. 

I've read a few articles and watched a few YouTube videos for workout ideas.  I'll keep grinding away, but tomorrow is crossfit day in the garage to the bike will have to wait until Tuesday.
