It's something I've noticed in the past, but today I really worked on it, I made sure my left leg was doing the work too. Actually, to me the way it felt was the left leg was doing more work, but I'm sure thats just an illusion brought on by the right leg normally doing most of the work, and now having an easier load.

My average speed went up 2 mph, hills were easier (still hard, just not as hard), and I would say my ass and back gave out before my legs on this ride.

Also, I better understood the term "spinning". When using both legs more equally and pulling up as well as pumping down, the ride felt much different. My legs felt better and I went fast with seemingly less effort. Spinning as opposed to pumping.

However, my butt and back hurt more as I spent less time leaning on the pedals for support and using them to drive me forward instead, if that makes any sense.

I still hurt right now, but it was a good day.
