Wondering why I'm so fatigued...and then it hit me

I SHOULD BE :)

It's getting harrrrrd..so harrrrd to keep motivated to spin indoors without moving forward and feeling the wind, warm temps and sounds of LIFE!!!!! But I'm sticking with it to see what this season will bring in the realm of REWARDS!!

All in attendance for tonights session...Ms Consistent a.k.a MOLLY and her partnah in crime Randal. Fil had an impromptu visit from a good bud and newlywed wife which gave him the uncomfortable option of not attending. Pat....where have you gone man....I hope you are still amongst the land of the living..those office job's will KILL YA ;) Sean was working and Frank....he's good for a monday at least ;)

So there were three....Suffarama was inserted and after a solid 10 min warm-up it began..I think it can be summed up like this....get three extremely motivated individuals together and the collective energy becomes almost NUCLEAR....STATS:

1 hr 5 min
150 avg HR....yeah that's right....it was threshold day
180 MAX...with my highest heart rate recorded at 187....not bad ;)
In zone 31 min; above 31 min...yeah that means higher then 155 or threshold; below 3 min
778 Kcal
Avg CAD 78...happy with that cadence with power training...122 max...

I've noticed something interesting.......gone is that spare tire...clothes are quite loose, bike shorts are feeling pretty snug around the quads/hams and work socks are also feeling pretty snug and around the calves....Hmmmmm....could I be transforming into a full on and legitimate cyclist.....time will tell.....rather, we'll know in about 5 weeks whether this consistency and intensity has all paid off :)

Confession...was hoping to get a full week of consistency in...we'll see..So far 2 hour spin monday, recovery and technique Monday, tuesday rest, today freakin intense hour of intervals....may bring the bike in tomorrow evening and set up to a movie for a little base/recovery of 1.5-2 hours..evaluate after tomorrow
