Serious Workout

Yesterday I went for it. I workout with Brad Gamsom at Progressive Fitness in Ocean Beach twice a week. Brad is awesome by the way. He uses gravity training machines where your body weight is the resistance and takes almost every muscle group to exhaustion in an hour. I decided I would ride to the workout and back yesterday. It is 25 miles each way and I had quite a headwind going east to west. After the workout I stoked the fire with a frozen yogurt with fruit and two fresh bottles of Poweraide for the ride home. I underestimated how tired I would be on the ride home. I averaged 14.9mph against the wind going but only 13.4mph with a tailwind on the way back. I had to stop twice for a breather on the way home as well. I was whipped by the time I got home. I am taking today off but looking forward to the climbing clinic sponsored by the CAF Saturday followed by our Sunday 52.5 mile group ride from Descanso to Julian and back. Even though the training is hard I really enjoy the challenge. Now if I can just win the XX radio contest......
