I ventured out on to the road to cycle today. That is not a fantastic episode really. However, with the cold snap earlier in December and then heaps of rain and then the Christmas break, I have been banished to the TURBO dungeon. Not that I mind this sentence; I relish a good turbo session and the addition of a tacx flow turbo has opened up a another dimension of training options. But today there were a few rays of sunshine so I warmed up on the turbo (can`t stay off it!) and then set off to do some hill reps in the local area - no shortage of hills near me. I had selected Whiston bank as my torture climb. This is about 1k long and very steep. However, when I arrived, there had obviously been an accident as there was diesel all over the climb. I had to walk up most of it to get back to the top - OH the shame! There was no traction whatsoever. Anyway, plan B was hatched and I rode to a longer, less steep, climb. I only did 3 reps but but it ended up as a decent workout. All in all, a good week of training, considering it was Christmas week.
Talking of Christmas, I now have a Kindle Fire HD. This is a great gadget and is perfect for using whilst on the TURBO!
Happy training folks. Race season is coming!
