Perhaps. But I also give him the finger. You can guess which one.

Actually I really like when coaches yell (out of encouragement, of course). When I did a rowing camp at the Naval Academy all the girls did a challenge on the ergs to see who could go the farthest in a certain amount of time. It came down to me an another girl and the two coaches split up between us. The frenzied yelling at the end was the best. (and the fact I won ).

That being said I have yet to do anything more than an 8.7 aerobic Spinervals. I'm both curious about and terrified of a 9.9 Sprinting one that came with one of the Aero Base Builders.

Thank you so much for all these suggestions. I'm going to try a harder gear next time. I think that's a major part of the problem. And focus on trying to find the right balance and pulling up on the upstroke. Reading your responses made it make more sense to me.

I'll try it all out tonight.

The thing I love about Spinervals is that I can make it my own workout and tailor it to my needs. I really hope I see a difference on the road in spring.
