Recovery Week

Recovery weeks are sometimes the hardest weeks of all. Just having to spin, and stretch. It's all about those cool Sufferfest video's which are exciting but too upper end for recovery.

Trying to dress this up

I'm trying to figure out how to post my mapped walks and rides. The garmin gives some nice data.

Anyhow, just getting on the trainer two to three times a week and some core work is going to be my goal this off-season. I've got a business that requires me! and I've got to get completely out of the woods from 2009, cause if we end up with another recession I'm going to be ready for it (OR to retire one day before I'm 80.)

2011 New Years Ride

OK so back at it. This year I am going to try to blog again. I'm going to try and "map my rides" for this too and use it as my journal. The first ride of the year was warm that would be 10°C and Rain... What weird weather for Brantford winter. Below is the link of our map from the Garmin of where we went. That garmin is pretty cool, I got it primarily to replace my Polar which was not so good but went for "bin fodder" this summer and I wanted to tack my metrics. For that alone its a little pricey but when you can see where you've gone and check out the hills and google earth the rides, it's pretty cool.

How to get started again...

I have to say that Sufferfest is a lot of fun, but I like to know what I'm doing and Graeme's Cyclo-SPIN 9 is a kicker. This year has been a tough one to start. Last year I had a lot of stuff that happened (broken collar bone for one in my best year yet).

Any how, I did Graeme's SPIN 9, and boy I can feel it still cooking away at my body which prompted me to write this blog. I've let my metabolism go into a lull and boy it feels great to have it firing up. If you've never looked at his stuff he has a bit of a different approach than may others... Though it seems that a few are starting to issue out "new" ideas that seem to be what I've been doing with Cyclo-CORE/CLUB since 2004.

Now to get this stupid Polar software to work!
