Have Mercy!!!!!!

Still getting over this nagging cold and successfully punched in for an easy spin last night, only to prep for a MONSTER workout about 3 hours ago. As Fil and Frank were away for their own separate reasons..Fil due to geographical challenge and Frank getting a P90X session with his honey, Molly and I thought it would be a great idea to try out their Kinetic Trainers for.....comparison. Well a comparison was made alright..

After the quick transition to the new trainers and me losing the bet to molly about Randals expected attendance, we got spinning on these "Kinetic" trainers. My first impression was...holy shit..I must be tired from the last three days of training, this stupid sickness, and lack of sleep/recovery. The resistance felt.......HEAVY MAN. Molly quickly shared her distressed state with me and we nonverbally jousted with the option of hooking back up to our regular speedmatic TAXC trainers. This wasn't going to happen and I prepped for a killer workout to, HAVE MERCY, of all videos.

Recap on performance of trainer..it makes you pedal more efficient to reduce slippage from tire and definitely provides enough resistance for power training. Stats:

1 hour 5 min....punched out for two reasons...bloody tough and we we only committed to an hour pre session
149 avg HR 180 max
89 avg CAD and 110 max....110 MAX????? kudos to this trainer man....
790 Kcal

Plan....was going to night ski tomorrow night...BUT...I'm pulling the chute..rest and recovery for thursday and Friday for two reasons...One...I need to get over this cold and two, i am playing in a hockey tournament this wknd which includes two games saturday and potentially two games sunday.....anaerobic workout sessions for weekend set :)

Back to spin on Monday and so on and so on
