Spinervals: Hillacious

Tonight we did Hillacious for the second or third time at Cycle Concepts in Rocky Hill. I was able to get through the whole workout pretty well without much trouble or post workout fatigue. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Hillacious is training for taking big and small rolling hills. There are two sets of 8 minute intervals at about 85 to 90 % Max. Then we did a progressive climb and decent from Big - 21 to Big 12 and back three times, finishing with 3 sets of big gears for 1 minute - 45 seconds in the saddle and 15 standing. Total workout including pre and post ride warm-up and cool-down was 1 hr and 16 minutes. Spinervals was about 1 hr of that. The ride was 16 miles at a maxhr of 145 and a avgehr of 121 including warm-up and cool down. 12.2 mph and 2280 KCals later we were on our way to Elly Canon's in Middletown.

My brother Nick and I then went to Elly's for Beer and a chicken sandwich with onions, hot pepper and garlic...NICE! Made a great end to a great workout.
