Today marks the day that I begin my indoor training. Lucky me. I would have really liked to ride outside today, but with temps in the low 20s and winds in the high teens, I decided not to. Plus, I had a bunch of things that I needed to get done plus go to a birthday party for my boss’s 3 year old. Ya know what happens at a 3 years olds party don’t ya? Lots of birthday cake. I am proud of myself of only have one small piece and I chose to drink water all night instead of beer knowing I was coming home to ride tonight. Seems as if I might be growing up…..god help me.
Either way, I did an hour twenty on the trainer with the Spinervals #16 video. It really wasn’t all that bad, except for my hind end not being used to a road saddle. It is funny how just 2 years ago, I spent more than 9 hours at a shot on that sucker all year and now a little over an hour kills me. Seems as if I have more to build up than just my legs and aerobic ability.
Here is the stats from my heart rate monitor. You can really tell when Coach Troy lets me have a break:
Not quite sure what is in store for tomorrow. I know I am taking the dog out for a walk if it decently warm. Depending on how things go, I might just turn that into a short run….(shudders)
