First Real Workout for the New Year

Wow! Two hours on the trainer. CycleOps fluid trainers are awesome. They have a lot of resistance and they really make me sweat. I don't know what the real world difference of speed on a fluid trainers are when compared to riding the road. What I do know is that your speed is slower and your legs burn. That said, this should really get me in shape for Calvin's Challenge and The Diabolical Double.

One really kewl thing about training indoors is you can really catch up on television and movies. I watched X-Men for the 33 time.

Today's totals...

32 miles
15.9 average
1800 calories burned

Running Total  62.5 miles

1/11/12 Trainer Data

Check out Garmin products. They make really awesome bike computers. I got my bike computer from one of my Team H2Ope team mates last year. Really awesome data and really helped my training.



Lizard Night

Tuesday
Well, Day 2 of training was met with a serious obstacle. The Winking Lizard. I can't really image that wings and beer would be considered high powered workout food! Claudia decided it would be nice for the family to go out to dinner. She is going to Toronto to help her sister recover for the next week. Her sister had major knee surgery Tuesday. So, Winking Lizard is dinner!

However, the rest of the day I was good. Breakfast was 1/2 cup of oatmeal w/ maple syrup and Lunch was a salad with tuna and hard boil egg. French dressing covered it all.

Wdenesday
Catch up with me this evening for tonights work out.
