- Title: Travel to Toronto
- Kind: travel
- Discipline: travel
- Surface: off-bike
- Priority: key
- Planned time: all day
- Duration: variable
- Location: Edmonton, AB to Severn, ON
Objective
Handle the travel day cleanly without stacking meaningful training stress on top of airport friction.
Goal
- Arrive in Toronto recovered enough to resume the build quickly.
- Protect hydration, meals, and overall freshness on a high-friction travel day.
Reasoning
- The travel schedule marks May 21 as a real stressor, so the correct goal is reducing training noise, not squeezing in load.
- Keeping the day training-free protects the next few days, which are more important for fitness.
Event details
- Flight from Edmonton to Toronto.
- Keep bags, bike logistics, meals, and hydration organized.
- Use short walks and posture resets during the day.
Constraints
- No structured training.
- Do not try to salvage load with a late hard session.
Recovery
- Light mobility only after arrival if helpful.
- Aim for an early night in local time.
Fueling
- Eat regular meals, carry fluids, and avoid arriving underfueled or dehydrated.
Notes
Travel stress counts even when training load does not.

- Title: Post-travel reset
- Kind: strength
- Discipline: strength
- Surface: off-bike
- Priority: support
- Planned time: after arrival
- Duration: 0:08-0:12
- Intensity: very light
- Location: Severn, ON
Objective
Reduce travel stiffness and restore posture without turning the day into training.
Goal
- Reopen hips, trunk, and upper back after the flight.
- Arrive at the next day feeling less stiff, not more tired.
Reasoning
- Travel days create enough physical noise that a short reset is useful even when no training is planned.
- This supports movement quality and posture without adding fatigue.
Workout plan
- Brief walk, then 1 round only.
- Hip opener, thoracic rotation, glute bridge, band pull-apart or scap activation, calf raises.
Constraints
- Keep it easy and brief.
- Skip it if travel runs too late or stress is already high.
Notes
This is a decompression routine, not a workout.
