Unlike last week, I was not a couch potato; I got on my trainer and did my workout.

I really wanted to ride outside tonight, but the weather forecast was not favorable. It called for thunderstorms and I did not want to get caught in one. So, onto the trainer I climbed.

Instead of watching the ususal Tour de Frace DVD, I watched something really special – Disc 1 of “Lon and Susan’s Cycling History’. This three DVD set covers many early ultracycling record attempts. First was John Marino’s 1980 Transcontinental Record and then I watched Susan Notorangelo’s 1982 Transcontinental Record. Inspiring!

But I was feeling a bit tired tonight. My heart rate was about 10 bpm lower then Tuesday at the same power output, an indication that I need some rest. So, into the hot tub!
