MY LEGS HURT

MY LEGS HURT

THREE DAYS INTO MY 7 DAY QUEST TO CLIMB EVEREST, and my legs a pretty sore.  5000' Thursday, 3000' Friday, 10,000' Saturday.  Took today off, per my plan... well, kinda took it off... did a 4 mile hike with the family, totally worth it.  That leaves 11,000' more, Monday-Wednesday.

I think the biggest factor causing pain is my poor route choice.  Too many 12-18% pitches.  

But, when time is a constraint... straight up and straight down is a heckuva lot faster.

My Rx is for the pain is stretching and rolling, and if I had the fancy compression bootlegthingies I'd be using that too.  

Rolling the legs, if they're fresh is nothing.  If they're sore... oh man, that really hurt.  But, it's a strange hurt because the more I roll the better I feel.

The question now is do I break up the next 3 days into an even 3000' ride... or 2k tomorrow, 3k Tuesday, 4k Wednesday... or 5k, 2k, 2k?  Some of that will depend on the work days, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to leave a bunch to be done on the last day, in the middle of the workweek.

What's not in question is the fuel I'll be using as I get back at it.
