Not So Easy Rider

30 minutes on the trainer with 5x 2min sprint 2min recovery.

This is clearly my dog, since he's showing his ass to the camera.



The first two minute sprint I started out HARD. As in, hit 27mph (And nearly shat myself). That was sustainable for...um...a second or two? Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah. But it was still neat. I settled in to a stead 23mph or so during the sprints. Sometimes it was lower. Because damn, that shit is hard. Quads were aflamed.

But the headband kept the sweat from dripping in my eyes.



The best butt short you're going to get.



By the end I was exhausted. EXHAUSTED. My legs were jelly. My heart rate hit 190 a few times. It was a good workout. I almost put it off until Saturday, but decided it was only 30 minutes, and it would be easier to just knock it out. Glad I did.

Because I can:



Yay weekend. I have a run and a clothing exchange. Good times.

  1. Yes you can! I'd probably fall off my trainer if I ever got going that fast.

  2. Closing exchange probably sounds sexier than it is.

  3. 27 mph for two seconds would mean a distance of ......... I don't know but I would take 23 mph too.
