Today’s session was straightforward enough. It was a brick session on a rather uncomfortable gym type exercise bike for 45 minutes followed by a 15 minute run on the treadmill. All of this overlooking Hong Kong harbor. Sounds idyllic but it wasn’t. I never thought I would hear myself say that I miss my razor type saddle and the rollers that keep threatening to hurl me across the room. Sitting on a static bike where I can, hunch and use appalling form isn’t training, it is going through the motions with no feedback. At least on the rollers if your lose concentration it shouts at you to pay attention, but this machine had a fat but uncomfortable saddle that dug into my thighs and felt about a much like a bike as a very unlike-a-bike thing. The designers clearly think that puting a saddle, handlebars and pedals within 24” of each other makes it a bike. They couldn’t be wronger.
Never mind I hit my numbers, (without style or grace)
Probably not much of an “Ironman attitude”Note to self.
Do better next time !!!
