Let the Biking Begin!!

Now that I had my first (of many) meetings with Jill re: workouts, I believe that biking MUST become my main discipline. I'm going to get killed by the course otherwise!! I plan to do ride three times a week with two 1.5 hour rides (within one hour of spinning incorporated) and one 2.5-3 hour ride. I hope my butt can take it!

I MUST get a power meter!! It will make a huge difference in terms of understanding exertion levels. Jill also told me that performance gains are incredibly better if I get one...this will be fun!!

I also learned two REALLY important lessons about nutrition: 1) eat and drink a little something right before the workout and then a bar right after working out; 2) need Carbo Pro for the long rides.

Finally, she wants me to do two more assessments, a 20min TT and a 500m swim. These times and exertion levels will determine workout paces and HR zones. I'll try to do one of them on Monday (the 500m swim). I'm not sure when I'll do the bike ride.
