TRAINER TIME!!/ Good Cholesterol .. good boy

Today it got cold and luck would have it Hunter had me scheduled for a trainer ride. He must be psychic or something. Anyone who knows me knows I usually dread the trainer, ask Todd.

Today was a burly 2hr trainer ride followed by recovery drink and 30 min rest then another 45 min skills session outside on the sleek new Trek Fuel 110 mountain bike. I was pretty much kooked, yeah kooked with a K. I wasn't planning on the second ride but Jeff Herrick (my partner in crime) called and talked me into it. I said "are you trying to kill me?" he said "No" I said OK and we went. We did the JMU urban assault thing and I picked up my blood lab work from the doc. My Cholesterol is down to a sane 190!!!! Great news. My last blood work (for the UCI) showed a gastly cholesterol of !^%$@#%@* 244!!!! Yikes. I hate taking medicine and I hate needles so I am happy not to have to get on meds. It was funny when my freind said I should exersize more, strange thing is it must have worked.

I think riding 5hrs on the road tomorrow should seem fun and such a change from today that the time will fly by. I am going to start out at the Shenandoah Bicycle Co. road ride at 11 am and then head over the mountains towards Erin's parents.
She went there to visit today and took the VW eurovan. I can't have that you know.



Trainer time: I jammed out on the trainer and I felt good. I though I was going to only make it half way thru this one. My legs felt like mashed potatoes from the pounding Chris Eatough and Todd Helmick put on me during the last two days.

Wattage was good the only deviation from plan was additional time and nine surges from 310 up to 350w for 30s. instead of five. I paid for that an hour later when I whent for the 3, 5 min 350 watt efforts. That last one was tough. All in all I am feeling alot better and I am regaining most of my lost fitness quickly.

A great average of 337watts for 1:45.

2:10 Trainer getting run over.
:45 MTB running over things.
I had a good time of it, this trainer thing is't so bad.

I wonder what Stava’s doing???
