2012.07: Base 2 Week 3

Sunday: No riding.  The temperatures were in the single digits, which I didn't feel like dealing with.

Saturday: Was going to try Percy's ride, but woke up late...again.  Did a short ride late in the day to make it seem like I'm actually trying here.

Friday: Spinbatas again.  I'm not sure if they're helping or not.  They're sure kicking my ass though.  I wasn't able to go as hard this time because my throat is still really hurting when I breathe in deep.  Jeremy says I should set up a humidifier.  I think I should just give up on these things.

Thursday: No riding.  Rainy cold windy day.  I did go for a walk for about 2 hours or so.

Wednesday: High cadence tabatas again.  Or spinbatas as I'm now calling them.  I'm having trouble breathing deep with the dry air in the basement.  My throat just feels on fire by the time I'm done.

Tuesday: Long ride.  Flatted on the way out.  Fortunately, I was just down the hill from Carl Hart Bicycles, so I popped in for a little to warm up and use their floor pump.  Thank you, kind bicycle sellers!  After that I almost got crushed by a gravel truck.  Status quo with them, really.  Those guys have to be the biggest douches on the planet.  On the way back, I was really starting to bonk hard, so I got a quick bite of pizza at Old Town Pizzeria.  Man, was that good.  Then a short ride back home.  You know, with all these reviews in this post, you'd think I was sponsored by these guys or something.  A rider can wish...

Monday: Rest day.  Didn't rest.  I did some high cadence tabata intervals on the rollers.  Well attempted to do them at least.
