Finally got beyond the big 0 towards my 2500 goal on bikejournal. Indoors and estimated, but still ... Caught a 75 minute spin class at the gym halfway home from the office. Had to powerwalk there to make it on time. Through the snow (we have an inch or two now, kinda like walking in sand), so I was well warmed up already when the session started. It was a fairly tough session, endurance with lots of climbing, then intervals at the end. I was relieved to find that I can still do standing climbs, even after being off the bike for a couple months. Back when I first started a good year ago, spinning to get in shape for the Cindy, I couldn't stand more than a few seconds without my hr going so high I felt dizzy and my knees getting so sore they weren't stable. Now I could power sprint standing even at the end of the hour. :D Seated I wasn't putting on much resistance before my cadence fell through the floor, but I'll get back in shape. I'll miss this class next week -- dinner date that starts too early to finish the class -- but there are others.
