Winter has definitely arrived, I officially know this when I don’t have enough daylight to ride my bike so I have to get on my trainer, in other words, “lame.” I cannot think of any other workout I would rather skip than ride my trainer. I even had all the amenities going for me, Daft Punk playing loudly, the 05′ Tour playing on the TV, a fan in my face and still I was bored out of my mind. On the bright side, I did get some good speed work in and my legs feel pretty good for the long weekend rides to come. Chris Swan is apparently coming down from Portland for the weekend to do some coaching with the UO team, it should be nice to see him again. I’m planning on doing a 3 hour ride on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday, I’ve got my “cruising speed” up to around 20mph which I’m fairly happy with. My HR is slowly dropping which is also a plus, I think it’s about time to re-check my HR zones, I have a feeling they are a bit off. I’m still burning through my grocery bill, my metabolism is on overdrive right now and its draining my wallet, maybe I can catch up on food during Thanksgiving. Anyhoo, there’s your update of training, I’ll post again after this weekend, until next time. Cheers.
Rain + Not Enough Daylight = Trainer :(
