Coach Luca
- Readiness: Unconfirmed
- Triggers: No morning check-in received. Travel day context: full transit to Shanghai.
- Today: Travel day, no structured training. Bridge week officially closed.
- Back soreness: carried forward from April 30 massage and bridge week cumulative load. No update received.
- Hashimoto's immune resilience context: active. Six consecutive days below fat target entering two weeks of travel, time zone disruption, and unfamiliar food.
- Nutrition carry-forward: Fat 90.5g on May 1 (bridge-week high, sixth consecutive day below 108g target). Airport breakfast logged at 07:07: 26.3g fat, 71g carbs, 15.7g protein, 567 kcal. Standalone daily nutrition plan confirmed at athlete/logs/daily-nutrition/2026-05-02.md.
- Specialist gate: Recovery materially implicated (back soreness, travel fatigue, pre-travel immune resilience). Nutrition materially implicated (fat deficit carry-forward, travel fueling guidance). Endurance: not implicated (no structured session). Strength: not implicated.
Evening pass
- Day type: Travel/rest day (Edmonton to Shanghai). No structured session planned or expected. Session outcome classification: not applicable.
- Morning note: Present. Used as primary source for context.
- TP evidence: Not retrieved. No session planned today; TP check not applicable.
- Specialist input for evening pass: Recovery section empty in today's log; fallback to morning plan context, bridge-week back soreness history, and May 1 recovery notes. Nutrition section has full morning-after May 1 review and one logged May 2 item (airport breakfast 07:07). No mid-day or in-flight nutrition updates received; travel day intake is materially incomplete.
- Rolling 7-day: Window closed May 1. No May 3 entry to stabilize. Travel schedule confirms Shanghai May 2-16, no bike access. Next 7-day window opens after return (May 17). No rolling-7-day update required tonight.
- Tomorrow (May 3): First full day in Shanghai. No structured session. Jet lag recovery mode; gentle walking and movement only. Hotel gym available but no training obligation for the first 3-5 days.
- Specialists informing evening note: recovery (first Shanghai night, 14-hour time zone shift, back soreness, Hashimoto's immune resilience), nutrition (fat deficit carry-forward, incomplete travel day intake, arrival recovery fueling).
Endurance
Recovery
Coordinator-consolidated status (no same-day recovery input received)
- Back soreness: carried forward from April 30 massage. No athlete update received today. Long-haul flight (15+ hours) will have added cabin stiffness. Gentle movement and walking on arrival appropriate; no loading.
- Jet lag: 14-hour time zone shift (Edmonton MDT to Shanghai CST). First 3-5 days in Shanghai expected to affect sleep quality, energy, and mood. Sleep alignment to local Shanghai time is the primary recovery objective for the first night.
- Hashimoto's context: long transit is a real immune stressor. Combined with six consecutive days below fat target, immune resilience is a carry-forward watch item for the Shanghai arrival period.

Status
Morning-after nutrition review targeting 2026-05-01. Session outcome unconfirmed (no ride report received; prescribed session was pre-travel endurance with openers, 1:30-1:45 with 4×3 min at 75-82% FTP). Daily totals: ~2,170 kcal, 236.9 g carbs, 102.4 g protein, 90.5 g fat against targets of ~2,600 kcal / 295 g carbs / 112 g protein / 108 g fat. Fat reached its bridge-week high at 90.5 g — up from 77 g on April 30 — but remained 17.5 g short of the 108 g target, extending the consecutive-day fat deficit to six. Protein at 102.4 g was the best of the bridge week and closed to within 10 g of target for the first time. Carbohydrates were under-supplied at 236.9 g vs. 295 g target; if the prescribed session was completed, energy and carbohydrate delivery relative to session demand was a genuine shortfall.
Observations
- Fat improved to 90.5 g — bridge-week high — but 108 g was not reached for the sixth consecutive day. No single high-fat anchor meal was present: the focaccia sandwich (35.7 g fat) and breakfast eggs and PB (29.3 g fat) were the primary fat contributors. Dinner — the best window for fat correction — delivered only 10.5 g despite being the most nutritionally intentional meal of the day.
- Dinner (chicken breast, sweet potato, two olives) was the highest-protein meal at 37.7 g and the best quality food decision of the day. But the fat missed. A salmon fillet, avocado addition, or generous olive oil pour at dinner would have bridged the 17.5 g gap and potentially closed the target.
- Carbohydrates at 236.9 g vs. 295 g target — under-supplied if the session was completed. If the session was skipped or shortened, the lower carb figure is more appropriate for a shortened-effort day, but total energy at 2,170 kcal remained below the 2,600 kcal operating target.
- Protein recovered strongly from the April 30 dip (92 g → 102.4 g), driven by the focaccia sandwich lunch (25 g) and the chicken dinner (37.7 g). Best protein day of the bridge week.
Recommendations
- Today is a travel day to Shanghai with no structured session. Fat remains the primary priority. The 07:07 airport breakfast (26.3 g fat from PB and hash brown) is a reasonable start. Use every eating window on the transit day for fat and protein: nut butters, walnuts, avocado at the airport, salmon or tuna pouch in-flight. Rely on the carry-on pack rather than airline meals as the primary fat lever.
- Protein during transit will require active effort — airport and in-flight options skew carbohydrate-heavy. Seek eggs, meat-based items, and nut-based snacks at layovers.
- Hydration is the third priority: 250-500 mL water per hour in the cabin. Electrolyte tabs or sodium-containing snacks support fluid retention across a 15-hour flight.
- Carry-forward goal for today (May 2): Fat ≥ 90-100 g across the full travel day. Protein ≥ 100 g. Hydrate consistently from boarding through landing.
Watch
- Six consecutive days below fat target (39 g → 60 g → 58.5 g → 77 g → 90.5 g bridge week). The cumulative deficit is real. In a Hashimoto's context, chronic fat underfueling affects T4→T3 conversion efficiency and anti-inflammatory balance — arriving in Shanghai already depleted stacks immune stress on top of 14 hours of jet lag and a ~14-hour time zone shift.
- Session outcome unconfirmed. If the session was completed, May 1 was under-fueled for the work performed — both in total energy (2,170 vs. 2,600 kcal target) and in carbohydrate (236.9 vs. 295 g). If skipped or shortened, the intake is more compatible with a shorter effort but still below fat target.
- Back soreness: massage on April 30, no follow-up report received. Anti-inflammatory food choices during transit — walnuts, almonds, omega-3 sources where available — remain relevant beyond just nutrition targets.
- In-flight nutrition will be largely opportunistic. The planned carry-on pack is the primary control point. Relying on airline food alone will not meet fat or protein targets.

Morning plan
Today's Plan
**Readiness:** Unconfirmed — no morning check-in. Travel day.
**Today:** Travel day to Shanghai. No structured training.
**Travel notes:**
Your nutrition plan for today is ready. Fat is the priority: your carry-on pack is your primary lever. You started the day with 26g fat from breakfast, which is a reasonable base, but you have roughly 64-74g to build across the rest of the transit.
At every airport food stop, default toward eggs, meat-based options, nuts, and nut butter rather than bread and pastries. In-cabin hydration: 250-500 mL per hour once you are airborne. Electrolyte tabs or sodium-rich snacks help retain fluid across a long-haul.
Walk at every layover and boarding gate. Short movement breaks matter more than staying seated on a 15-hour travel day.
**Watch items:**
Back: avoid heavy lifting with poor mechanics during boarding and luggage handling. Keep movement gentle and active at each stop. If soreness escalates during the flight, note it for your first check-in from Shanghai.

Evening summary
Evening Summary
**Today:**
Travel day: Edmonton to Shanghai. No structured training.
**Recovery:**
The time zone shift is the dominant recovery variable right now, roughly 14 hours. If you have landed, prioritize sunlight exposure and staying active through the Shanghai afternoon rather than immediately sleeping. A proper sleep tonight on local time is the goal.
Hydration is the first priority after a long-haul flight. Drink water steadily, then get a real meal in with protein and fat as soon as you can. Your body will stabilize faster with food than without.
Back: no update received since April 30. The flight will have added stiffness. Gentle walking and movement is fine; no heavy loading.
**Tomorrow preview:**
First full day in Shanghai. No structured session. Light walking and gentle movement to manage jet lag is the prescription. Hotel gym is available if you feel good, but there is no training obligation for the first few days. Let the body settle into the new time zone.
**Monitor:**
Back soreness: still unresolved from April 30, worth watching how it responds in the first 48 hours.
Jet lag: expect the first 3-5 days to affect sleep, energy, and mood. Plan around it.
Nutrition: only the airport breakfast was logged today. A recovery meal with fat and protein on arrival matters.

Nutrition review
May 1 was your best nutrition day of the bridge week. Fat reached 90.5g — up from 77g the day before — and protein came back up to 102g, your highest of the week. The chicken and sweet potato dinner was the right call: clean, protein-anchored, and well-timed. The trajectory was moving in the right direction. But six consecutive days below the fat target is the number that follows you onto this flight, and the last meal you ate at home was still 17.5g short.
**What went well:**
- Fat hit the bridge-week high for the first time: 90.5g, up from 77g on April 30. The direction is real.
- Dinner was your best food decision of the day — 115g chicken, sweet potato, fresh veggies, and olives. High protein, intentional, well-timed before travel.
- Protein recovered strongly from the April 30 dip: 102g vs. 92g the day before, and the best of the bridge week.
**What needs work:**
- Dinner was the fat opportunity of the day and it didn't land as a fat anchor. At 10.5g fat, the chicken bowl was a protein win but not the fat correction the day needed. Avocado, salmon, or olive oil at dinner would have closed most of the gap.
- Six consecutive days below the fat target (39g through 90.5g) is the carry-forward that matters most for Hashimoto's and immune resilience going into two weeks of travel, disrupted sleep, and unfamiliar food.
**Tomorrow's goal:**
Fat ≥ 90g across today's travel day — use every airport stop and in-flight window for nuts, nut butters, avocado, or a protein-and-fat pairing. Your carry-on pack is your primary lever; airline food alone won't get you there.
**Next step:**
Hydrate early and consistently — 250-500 mL per hour once you're in the cabin. At every airport food stop, default to eggs, meat, and nuts over bread and pastries. This is the window to start breaking the fat-deficit streak.
