Food Temptations

I felt like eating a lot of food after my training today but I resisted. A recovery shake, an apple and some pineapple with admittedly 3 bowls of homemade vegetable soup for dinner.

5hr Computrainer ride incl intervals.
30min transition run.

I have never worn so much clothing indoors to exercise and still been cold (and sweaty!!!). It was 3 degrees C in the garage. I had full winter gear on sans the jacket.

Squats on a Bike

My crap bike - Giant TCR Composite :-) - has been dusted down, mudguards added, oiled up and is now purring like a cat again. One hour on it doesn't sound much but outside with Powercranks on is not a simple proposition when you've not been on them in a long while. Nice to be outside again though. Who knows if they actually work but they are harder than normal cycling by a long shot and that must add some training effect. It's definitely HTFU squats on a bike training.

Trg today:
Bike - 60min Powercranks.
Swim - 60min Power Swim. Band, paddles etc.
