lobsteriffic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 disneyland of gyms...sounds interesting! was it the happiest place on earth? ouch, walking 4 miles would suck. you should have a cell with you when you ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 i did! i was alone out in the middle of nowhere and there were guys in vans stopping to ask me if i needed a ride, and it was cold and misty, so not walking in my speedplays would have been the less preferable and probably lethal option. i kept walking til my bailout got me. i was just so amped to get out between rainstorms that i forgot to strap on my flat bag. the gym was nice! it has 3 pools, a versaclimber, and little cups you can fill with complimentary mouthwash!

MaryStella Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 that is a crappy flat story. I hate flats! do you have a TT bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Funny you should ask. I'm in the market for one as we speak. Tis the season for buying from people who just figured out they don't like athlons and only rode their bike 4 times. Wednesday:strong commuteupper body pt1 hour trainer ridemore pt i rode that trainer so hard i left with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, it was all i could do to not break down in tears when i was done. idk what came over me. i'm sure the power meter was off but i topped it at 512 watts and i pushed 42something for 3x20 seconds. and although there were some upper body moves i just could not manage, i did manage a few i haven't been able to get before. so that made me smile. i did eat an obscenely massive amount of cornflakes all day. but i don't think i'll ever do that again. i hope not! with this recovery it's so weird that some days some things move and some days they just really really don't.

vivalasvegans Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 monday:commute1 hour trainer ridelegs, new routine heavier weight, less reps, explosive movementon the trainer i saw 508, 502, 502 watts then i cracked. was able to get it back up into the high 4's after that but i was trashed. the seat was angled down a bit, i think i get more power that way. concentrated on form, got really strong when i dialed it in, esp dropping my heels.

MaryStella Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 i like "the hill" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yeah I mostly like it. It's not actually all that much of a big deal hill, but this particular climb has a special significance for me. And it's and easy place for me to do baseline comparisons. Tuesday:commuteupper body pt1 hour trainer ride (progressive hills)upper body pt able to work in some weight training, it is feeling ok. i pretty much could tell what works and what's not going to happen. hopefully things will keep improving, especially after last weeks reversal in progress.

vivalasvegans Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 wednesday:commute, restthursday:46 mile ride. flat, fast, wet, windy, cold (like your mama) instead of my usual recovery smoothie i heated up some lentil soup left over from dinner last night, watered it down and added a lot of ginger, salt, and hemp and peanut protein. it was DAMN good. i didn't eat any of it last night so i don't have that to compare it to but it was super filling and way more satisfying than the usual protein/fruit smoothie.

vivalasvegans Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 it's this stuffhttp://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2010/07/cool-new-product-alert-peanut-flour.html i haven't relied on peanuts for a long time... they don't make me feel really good, and unless they're organic, they're usually full of all kinds of crap. but this stuff is pretty cool for a little switch up, and relatively cheap. friday:~26 mile ride The Hillfelt totally strong climbing, was ready to try hill repeats, everything hurt after the descent, stayed in the flats instead.

vivalasvegans Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 How do you like almond butter? One of my favorites is tahini. If I'm going to eat nuts though, I go for chocolate covered almonds Saturday:no bike for a change! treadmill:5 min warmup 3.52o minute run 2.3 miles5 min cooldown 4.o5 min backwards 3.o upper body pt: shoulder stability, chest, tris swim: 25 mins mixed bs fsthe swim was tough on my injuries, i need more time, or something, maybe a new body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 here is the weird thing. I like eating almonds but i am not a big user of almond butter. I will put it in smoothies sometimes but i don't really use it all that much. Sounds like your hanging in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
