 | Last week I did my last two full days of commuting by bike to work on
Monday and Tuesday. When I got home on Tuesday night, my
throat was bothering me and I had chills, so I knew I was doom with a
cold. I had to stay off the bike and not exercise from
Wednesday until Sunday, which allowed me ample time to recover my cold
got worst.
So the beginning of this week, I dragged my butt downstairs to train
indoors on my trainer. I was determined to ride 45 minutes at
an easy pace to get acclimated to being back on my indoor
trainer. It was quite a workout as I sweated away as it
dripped onto the rubber mat below. I am now on my 4th day of
training indoors and I am enjoying the time as it is well spent as I
can focus on working out, instead of staying warm. From
riding indoors, I have been able to actually lose 3 lbs, which
indicates that my body is burning fat
effectively.
On a different note, I have been
reading the Georgia Cross forum (http://www.georgia-cross.com) that I
am getting the bug to race cyclocross. So I'll be shaking the
dust off my trusty cyclocross bike on Saturday to race at the Georgia
International Horse Park in Conyers, Ga. I raced cyclocross 2
years ago and my first race was at this same venue, so I am looking
forward to it! If I race well, I'll probably race every Sunday from here on out until the cyclocross season ends on 12/7/2008!
