Five Hours +

How do you spend a sick day?

Well, if you aren't too sick, the new preferred method is to ride indoors while watching Coach Troy's Spinerval 100 mile tape. Only 3 dvd's are needed to get through this 5-5:25 hour workout.

Jan insisted for two days this is what I wanted and we would be riding in the basement on Monday. I said, "no, how about 3 hours"? Jan said, "no, you are doing the whole thing with me." "how about 4 hours"? Jan said, "stop whining and get on the bike."

Jan rode 102 miles, I made it less, much less, but then my trainer used to be in the Flintstone's stone age house. Also she is a much better biker. One set of intervals (after 3 1/2 hours of riding) is 12x3 minutes and the second minute of each repetition you stand and pedal in a hard gear. I could do about 15 seconds, Jan did them all.

She is a showoff.
