Capital Bikeshare has also been shut down, until further notice.
I don’t think I’ll be doing any riding this week anyway. I’m recovering from the Marine Corps Marathon (no rain and only a couple wind gusts during the entire race). I was a bit undertrained so the last miles were ugly, and my quads are quite sore. I’m not sure if I’ll ever do another marathon, but if I do, I will have to train better. I have no desire to do another marathon in an undertrained state.
Even after the weather clears up by Tuesday evening, I probably won’t ride. I sprained a pinky finger during the marathon when I took a tumble onto the concrete. That’s the first time I’ve ever fallen on a run. It would be tricky to use brakes with the bad finger. So with the high winds, the rain, the sore quads and the injured finger, there’s little reason or incentive for me to ride this week. Hopefully my finger improves enough by next week that I can start to do some casual rides. No tough workouts for at least a few weeks. I’m now officially in my off-season break.
