We got dumped on...literally....with what has been controversially reported as "up to 20 cm" of snow. Enough snow to keep people from making Physio appts which left my day pretty mellow and thinking of the next workout. Not surprised to see Fil make it for our regular garage session and found Shawn also attending as his workplace was closed due to "snow".....silly people..I commuted 40 minutes down the road, mind you with quattro and winter tires pushing the body of an A6...not hard to do ;)
I was going to give the boys mercy as they had just finished a 2.5 hr snowshoe earlier in the day, but Fil wouldn't have any of it..so a quick and dirty Uphill Grind it was. Cranking up the tension on the magnetic trainer to 4-5 really compares to the Kinetic and also serves to crank up the "suffer meter" as well. Stats:
1 hr on the dot
149 avg and 177 max HR
In zone 26 min; above 27 min; below 6 min
674Kcal
79 avg CAD; 127 Max....a taaaaaad harder to get the cadence up to where I "Like it" but definitely training more power this way
The spin session was last night and am looking forward to a ripper of a night ski tonight with Fil, Frank, and Shawn. Our plan is to get a bit more than the traditional 10 k loop......may have to bring "snacks" :) Tomorrow is a busy clinical day......but the wknd soon rears it's beautiful head and all is good with the world again. Now back to the Kijiji search for a winter bike.....
