Had a week in melbourne doing some shopping, drinking good coffee and eating lots of good food. Fully carb loaded and ready to ride on my return...upon return I test positive for covid...one week of sweats, chills, coughing and generally feeling average....lockdown lifted for me today so got to ride again! Definitely felt it on the climbs, heart rate higher than usual, lungs felt like walnuts and reaction times were a little slow but such a great feeling being back on the bike. Modded Mezzer (a week at home something had to get modded) felt sublime and the Madonna overall felt similarly good
