Hey, KSH, you'll enjoy this.

I was just emailing back and forth with my coach about the need to step up my long climbing rides on the weekends. The tough part is that our extra snow this year has left the roads still REALLY gravelly.

It looks like I will be having to do some very long trainer rides, too...and not really the kind that change up a lot...more like the 3 hour mountain climbs that I really need to be starting this month.

My coach is worried (a valid worry!) that I will go nuts with too much of this. I told her:

"If KSH on TE can do 4.5 hours on her trainer for her IM schedule, I guess I can try a couple long trainer rides!!!"
