Besides these long weekend rides, of course there's a lot of day to day training. Especially targetting my abs which are particularly weak from years of laziness. Yesterday was 1 hour spinning class + 1 hour of Amanda's particularly grueling Boot Camp. Since only 3 of us showed up, it was a much more individual boot camp. My abs are still burning today. I tried doing sit-ups and I got to 5 before I had to stop. She is brutal and that is excellent for getting me in shape.
I'm not a fan of the monotony of the gym so having classes with people to threaten to kick my butt really helps motivate me. I can't believe I actually managed to get in 3 sets of decent push-ups yesterday (the real ones) which have always been my weak point. That class has really improved my overall fitness over the past 4 months. For any of you out there training to do the Rally, or just yourself, I really recommend you get hooked up with a great boot camp class. Also spinning has really improved my overall cadence and particularly my ability to stand on a bike and get up hills.
I'm excited for the Saturday training ride and to try out my new gadget (speedometer thingy) to test how fast I really go. Also might have a few guests with me which should be fun :-) brew-haha! I promise to get some pics on Saturday's ride and post them here soon. This page has way too many words and not enough visuals. It's on it's way though....
