Today I learned that no matter how cool the garage feels, a long sleeve jersey is not a good idea. I forgot to factor in that there is no air circulation. Maybe I will start training with the door open and hope for a breeze.
Yes, Race day is REALLY hard. Sometimes I'll start off easier and do a few of the intervals instead of doing the entire workout. The great thing about these dvds is that, after doing them three days a week last winter, I definitely saw improvement in my riding. This was opposed to previous winters when I sat on the trainer doing my own "wandering" sets of intervals.
