Tuesday December 29, 2009:
I woke up to a howling wind battering on my windows.
First thought of the day? "Oh, shit..."
I had scheduled a 10 mile run this morning. With the wind chill at 10F I was not ready to go outside. I was even thinking of doing the 10 miles on the "dreadmill" at the YMCA.
But before I was ready to walk out the door to the Y, the Computrainer was talking to me.
You see, I had scheduled a big 30 mile bike on the Computrainer tomorrow and I starting thinking, "wouldn't it be nice to get the longest bike workout of the week out of the way?"
You bet! I changed into my cycling clothes, primed up the laptop and ventured over to the Computrainer. I set up the course for the first 30 miles of the Buffalo Springs Lake course, a course I personally know very well when I went down there twice for the race. It's a really nice course with key hills (I always have a warm spot in my heart for the Spiral Staircase, lol).
It turned out to be the best thing. I felt great on the bike. And yes, it is great to get the longest bike workout of the week out of the way. :-)
The criticals: Morning weight: 201 lbs. Course, BSLT, first 30 miles. Total time 1:41:33 (17.7MPH). 187 watts.
Next up might be a short run in the PM when the temps are warmer. If not, I'll be doing an easy swim tonight in the pool.
