Well stationary biking. Today I took Matt’s live 60 minute power zone ride along with 619 other riders. I finished in the top 30% and with a personal best 4% higher than my last 60 minute best output. I’m bushed now, 45 minutes after finishing the class. Matt had us sustain zones for extended periods the killer for me was holding zone 3 for 4 minutes then zone 4 for two minutes and zone 5 for two minutes. It’s a great workout for lactic threshold improvement featuring plenty of discomfort along the way. PR, baby.
Earlier my offer to make a bagel run was met with a resounding “YAY”. Off to Brueggers Bagels I went. Brueggers does not make potato or cracked pepper bagels, which are among my favs. Getting bagels hot out of the boiler made up for it. With a steaming bag of mixed bagels I headed back to Chanda’s in our Boxster. That car is fun to drive, but it takes practice. Making smooth quick shifts is a skill. I’m less skilled lately, but I can learn!
Now for some liquid replenishment.
