Training Failure Status

[Grumpy McTrumpy]

this is the season to be lazy.


So I blame all the chores I have to do. Yeah. That's it. Too much other stuff to do.

Except yesterday when I made time for two (2) (deux) (zwei) (2) rollers sessions



and....


only did one.


Instead I ate and sat on the couch.

I hear ya dude - I hate riding in the cold.
Rode with a buddy yesterday and he dropped my ass on a climb and told everyone about it online. Seemed that it was not mentioned that I did an hour and a half of intervals the day before and got two cortisone shots in my shoulder, etc. etc.
Just makes me want to be lazy some more...

YIPEE A training thread I can post in!

I did 2x30 min sessions of dinner buffet table laps last night.
Tonight will feature one 2 hour at the dinner table session.

Damn you botto - this is cold for me
When I was in the home country I used to ride in -20 celcius weather but now that I am heat acclimatized I can't take the cold at all but love the heat.

Baked French toast consumed; heading out for a ride in, oooh, bone chilling 30 degrees or so

Let's see, since arrived home on Wednesday, i nearly devoured an extra-large bottle of nutella. The thing is 4000kcals, and this was one act of gluttony. You guys can do the math. Looks like my FTP is going south of 3.7...

did you have it in a crepe with bananas? That's a good way of consuming nutella.....

In the past 2 days, I've done 4600 kJ of work on the bike. I'm praying that will offset what I'm about to do.

Finally, a thread that's appropriate for me !
Cranked out a solid 2-3 hours this week !!

Today's workout will be a family walk with the dog .... how many watts is that ?

[mollusk]

All of my training is a failure and I have the race "results" to prove it.

And if this was renamed the Weight Loss Tracking Failure thread I would "win" it.

depends on the dog and how hard it pulls.



my neighbor has a bull mastif and when his wife walks it I wonder who's walking who.

Get a Gentle Leader. I have an American Fox Hound that is close to 90 lbs of pure muscle that once gets on a scent is very hard to control unless on one of them.

I've done two rides since I came home from break. that was like ten days ago. so what?

I got some sweet defeet gear for xmas. Guess I'll try it out when racing starts haha.

Don't wear compression socks in your snowboard boots. It hurts if you have the drug store kind at least.

Yep, a scorcher here today.

no, mostly straight outta the jar

not so sure about that. i think i got everyone beat with a 2.5% weight gain of pure fat. hey, at least i got the concession to have a bike here, so that's good

[mollusk]

I'm Dreaming of a White (interspersed with a lot of green from the lawn) Christmas.

I used to live in Illinois and I would bike commute in that. However I was living in an area where most (but not all) people knew how to drive in those conditions. In Tennessee I would be more concerned about getting creamed by an out of control car than staying upright with that dusting of snow on the pavement.

[mollusk]

not so sure about that. i think i got everyone beat with a 2.5% weight gain of pure fat.

If only my weight gain from being in shape to now was 2.5%. Mine is closer to 7%.

[Grumpy McTrumpy]

the sun has not peeked out since last Sunday. I was dreaming of a Blue Christmas. I got a white one, mixed with gray.

[botto]

oh my, 1/8th of an inch! the bread and milk must be sold out at krogers.

[tombailey]

Injury + Christmas = fat = more suckage than normal for the start of the season

[Psimet2001]

Yep, a scorcher here today.

Nice - there isn't even any snow!!! I would SOOOoooooo totally ride in that if I had that today. I would be counting my blessings too.

It's funny because it's true.

[bostongarden]

I just ate a ton o food for dinner. It was all good!!

[Grumpy McTrumpy]

I didn't blow off the second roller session today, I just cut it short. fail.
