My journey on the training for the Hotter Than You Know What continues. I have learned many things over the past 2 1/2 months. Let me list them for you in no particular order.
- The chef that writes my training program is a veteran cyclist so he writes the work-outs to reflect that experience. I on the other hand am a rookie and these work-outs are killing me!
- Any amount of time on the rollers is a pain in the ass...10 minutes or 2 hours...it is still a pain in the ass. Rollers are satin!
- Any amount of time on the bike in the wind is a pain in the ass...10 minutes or 2 hours...it is still a pain in the ass! The wind is satin!
- Remember to clip out when you come to a stop sign. If you are a rookie go ahead and clip out on both sides just for good measure.
- Remember that just because you have clipped out on both sides doesn't mean that you still won't fall over.
- Ducks will scare the crap out of you and make you fall over and wreck. Yes ducks!
- If the ducks do make you wreck and you still have 30 minutes left of your work-out you just wipe the blood off and keep going. You will be OK!
- Don't eat chalupas right before you go out on a bike ride. You will deeply regret it!
- You will get giant thunder thighs which make you have to buy bigger shorts for the summer.
- It is good to keep lifting weights cause it makes you stronger still. You can be tortured by a chef with the bike work-outs and by the devil in Keller and you won't die!
- On a more positive note...I love my bike. I can ride it for hours day after day and my knee does not hurt. It only gets stronger.
Show up and make it count!
