I got in an hour on my trainer tonight. I didn't do any hills tonight just tried to keep a quick cadence at a comfortable pace. From 40-50 minutes I geared up a bit. I did most of the workout at 120 HR (I don't know if that is the correct acronym) and from 40-50 I was mostly at 130 but got up to 150. I was sweating buckets by then! Right now I have a towel ghetto rigged on the bike to keep my sweat from ruining everything :)
Popped in Shrek II to keep me occupied. It actually worked out perfectly because at 40-50 I hit the scene where they break into the potion room and the exit music worked well with my gearing up :)
Now I am going to do some crunches and head to bed so that I can wake up EARLY (4:45) to get my butt to peak to swim again. I don't think I will be doing 4000+ yards this week but more like 2000 :) Keep your fingers crossed on them having my watch!

I challenge you to 5 sets of 10 Devil Crunches....lol. Sounds like you had a GREAT workout.
Reading your blog has reminded me that I should get back on my bike - a Giant OCR1. I bought Shimano tri shoes not that long ago - they're great. Sounds like you got a bargain!
Nice job on the bike! I like having a towel wrapped around my frame, too, when I am on the trainer. Hope you had fun in you swim - 4:45?!! Gah!
ah, riding the trainer, and new tri shoes... i call that a good day...
i bought a relatively inexpensive fan, which saved me from the towel setup, i posted a pic of it in my blog awhile ago if that helps...
Who knew shrek 2 was such a great workout video! I'll have to try it...
I do that with movies too. I was watching Star War III. Most of the scenes were yapping. I slowed down a lot. When they had the final battle scene, I was riding furiously on my trainer.
On the heart rate thing, it would usually be shorthanded as 120 bpm (beats per minute).
Hey Elizabeth!
Just wanted to wish you best of luck in Phoenix (is that NEXT weekend??) Yeah!
