Okay, the upper body stuff was fine but boy, when it came time to do legs things started out rough! The leg press felt really hard. And then when it came time for lunges they felt really easy! Ditto for the hack squats - and that's a first for me as these are usually super tough. Today I was able to lower the sled so my knees were just past 90 degrees. Nice.

I did one set of plank before Thom W showed up and then when we were done I had no motivation to continue the ab thing so didn't. :)

At the CycleU indoor TT it also started out kinda rough although my first time was not bad at all... I had eaten a big burrito with lots of corn chips at about 2 pm and in retrospect that was too close. My stomach got acidy right away once I started going hard and only got worse as the night wore on.

And tonight I (obviously) got more and more tired with each effort as well. I wonder if this was due to yoga last night or what? Two weeks ago I was able to crank out three efforts that were pretty close in time, not today. And I could NOT get my heart rate up. I recall last year that I was able to maintain mid 170 all the time. These days I'm hovering at about 170 and churning a bigger gear.

The highlight of the evening for me was talking to Dan H and having him tell me that he has taken the whole month off the bike (due to his trip to Europe and long season last year) and is just doing some running. And then watching him crank out two exceptional times. In his defense, he at least looks like he's working unlike Ian M who just seems to sit there all expressionless and do the impossible.
