8 minute buns

omg! it feels like i've done 24 minutes of the 8 minute buns video. i cannot believe how sore my ass is! i guess those squats are doing their thing. as a hetero-male, i really don't want anything to do their thing back there, but to each his own.

hoping to move some of the toxins out of the muscles, i spun an easy gear on the trainer for an hour. i felt good the whole way and will probably do another easy, recovery day on the trainer again tomorrow.

so, i'm already getting anxious about the yankee race and it's still four and a half weeks out. i'm racing this to win so i have to be ready. it's the only race all year that i have a chance at winning so i'd better make the most of it. the thing is, i really haven't done any race specific workouts. i need to go out and ride 1:15 at race pace. that should give me plenty of reserve on race day. it's just so hard to find time to do it. it seems like on the weekends i need to get extra saddle time to prepare for the 12 hour race but i can't neglect this sprint race either. i'll do a race effort one of the days this weekend, probably by myself. i need a course with some hills. either a triple kensington or an out and back on hines. it's funny that i actually care to train this year. it's still fun training so i'll keep doing it until it's no fun anymore. sort of like sex except sex will always be fun!
