Hump Day on Santa Teresa




I humped and pumped, huffed and puffed until I finished my whole athlete homework. Today was the final exam, I passed...almost passed out. I don't ask any questions, just do the work..Dario is just about the only person I listen too.

The lungs were burning as the legs were churning and I was wearing and seeing stars.

Now I want me some Rainbow Stripes

On my hardest training days I wear stars and stripes socks, as a reminder. Suffering? Look down, all good.

That bike and you are so aero you can slide between the air molecules.

380 avg. watts for 20m and aero too? I wonder what that's like.

No first-hand idea of what that's like, me, but I can guess: ow. And ow. And ow.

Did 10m on/offs on hills... 1min 380W, 2 min trying not to pass out, 1min 380W, and so on. Wouldn't be able to keep up with the Hutchinator.

Ouch. And I was whining about doing the same thing - only starting 70w lower.

But you weigh like 80 or 90kg, right? Not. ;)

For such a nice guy, Dario can come up with some truly evil work-outs.

Sick. Looks like Mattis has another well-deserved spanking coming his way. Make me a strawberry smoothy and crush that Esparto field!
