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.
