50 min. of "Lean and Mean" Spinervals

I went to Newington Cycle last night to cycle training indoors. The group decided to do a 50 minute Spinerval Session called, "Lean and Mean". These sessions included both large chain ring X 12 progressions and High Spin Rate intervals, but there were no long duration intervals (aerobic in nature), but Troy gave us plenty of rest. Troy is the Spinerval coach on the DVD's we put in the Big Screen. There were a lot of newbies last night, making their new year's appearances. Parker left for Texis to ride outdoors, and the rest of the 10 +- riders were long term riders. The newbies had that stuck in the headlight look on their faces about 10 minutes in. Like, what did I get myself into here. I remember that feeling, although the first session were light compared to last nights version. Several of them had to get off their bikes to 'Adjust' or whatever a couple of times during rest periods. For me, it was a nice affirmation that I am more fit now than when I started. By spring I should be "Lean and Mean"...:-}
