Dr. Seuss Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Dr Seuss wonder how many of us think of 101 % @ 4 in the morning' date=' sorry 101 no good thought's But it get's us going !!![/quote'] my motivation process that early generally runs like this: - there is so much ZAR's invested in carbon standing around in the spare room that I just have to use it to get a return on investment; - failing that I start worrying what bruce would do if i do not send him my powertap file for the day - failing that i know that disturbed guys (...the voices made me do it?) like 101% is out there already! on top of all this drama mrs. dr. seuss suspects that i have an affair because there sure as hell is no other reason for anybody to get up at 04:10 every single morning (aside from mondays)!
Grantc Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 stayed in bed cos it's raining temp in the car driving to work was 10 degrees (still recovering from a ride in Magaliesburg on Saturday - Mount Grace was -3 at 7 in the morning)
Tumbleweed Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Holy roller' date=' my next question on the 2am line of questioning was " Who/ what is a tumbleweed?" but I see you answered that! My labs would be far too interested in the warm house to walk to my nearest Wild Bean Cafe at 2am![/quote'] my other dogs(a lab and cross lab chow) were chomping at the bit to get out into it. although, alaska's (the 10yr-old lab) mainly watched the pups go crazy outside. would have taken all of them for a walk but they're a handful! enlisted my sons, and have just taken all of them for a lap around the bird sanctuary. boys and dogs all have wet noses now man with no name: i was wondering about the transkei blend they had on offer
BikeMax Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 got up at 04:10 and was trapped under the duvet by 2 monster cats. eventually managed to wrestle them off me knowing true and well that it is going to be freezing outside. walked outside and sure enough - it is freezing' date=' but the pool water felt nice & warm. decided to do a session of bruce's 'pyramid of pain' on the idt, but the room was also freezing & i realized that 101% will NOT be out training, so convinced myself to get back into bed. the result of this now is that i am going to think all day about the suffering that lies ahead on the idt this evening! [/quote'] We are going to be watching for that power file... I did my pyramid of pain this morning already so no excuses
Dr. Seuss Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 We are going to be watching for that power file... I did my pyramid of pain this morning already so no excuses did one yesterday, and have another one coming tomorrow morning! today only 1.5hrs L3 at my indoor FTP - going to be boring on the IDT every time i start the pyramids i think that today i will add in an extra L5 and L6, but after that second L5 i just want to throw up & sell my bike(s)!!!! ...maybe tomorrow

Evan Andreou Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Will train this afternoon, I'm brave but not suicidal
fandacious Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 I agree... I'm gonna hit pompstasie again this afternoon. Its cleared up and the sun is out. Should be a nice 90min ride with a 4km 8% hill in the middle...
AndreZA Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Will train this afternoon' date=' I'm brave but not suicidal[/quote'] There is no such thing as bad weather if you dress correctly. (or something like that)
Dr. Seuss Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 L3 on the trainer is a no go for me - would rather do more L4/5 than that.. is it a good idea to to L4/L5's in 3 consecutive days?

(or something like that) I am suitably chastisedWill still train this afternoon and every other afternoon instead of the morning though

I am going to let your coach answer that... Depends on a lot of other factors - I am only getting 4 weekday sessions of an hour each, so I can get away with it mostly - the 4th session is often easier in terms of overall load but still some high intensity.

nellie Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Nah...slept in until just before 7o'clock (not a morning person okay!!!) So gonna kill myself for an hour on the spin bike tonight with some good music (and maybe if i get a chance, go out on the mtb later this afternoon...but hell...it's still freezing here - think the max today sofar was about 6deg!!!)
bruce Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Down here in Knysna it was persistently raining this morning at 6:30. So, attempted 2x20's on the rollers. First one was okay, second one was a nightmare - bailed after about 7 minutes.Seems like there are only two places to ride a road bike in Knysna - the N2 East or the N2 West but I'll be checking out one of the climbs in the area tomorrow morning. Dr. Seuss - checked my mailbox, no file???
