thisnewdayIt took me four tries to finally get through the routine I'd written to use on the mag trainer.
First try, wrong routine. Too hard to follow with 2-minute duration at each of the 3 peaks. That was the 28-minute routine, so I ran up to the office and pulled up the 25-minute one which uses a consistent 1-minute duration on each step.
Second try, forgot to reset the countdown timer for 25 instead of 28 minutes. Duh.
Third try, sweating my a$$ off because I'd forgotten to start the fan.
Even though the outside temp had dropped precipitously with the light rain that's been falling, off and on, since mid-morning, the still air inside an enclosed basement is stifling compared to riding through the outside air. So I got off and started it.
Fourth try, don't even remember. Maybe it was when I adjusted the seat height which I'd been thinking about doing for my road riding as well. I dunno.
Anyway, finally got through it and think it will work. I know it won't be the same as the road rides, which I love, but it'll do something different for me as far as conditioning.
But mostly, it'll keep me somewhat ready for when the road opens back up in the spring...
