Back on the horse last night with a reasonably steady hour on the wind trainer. G-A-W-D I hate that thing. I didn’t want to go too hard with the dodgy back and all, so I substituted out Coach Troy’s Time Trial DVD and replaced him with Guy Grossi and Maeve O’Meara’s Italian Food Safari DVD. I suspect that this will be my ultimate advantage in IM training, because I’m pretty sure nobody else is doing the hard yards with Maeve and Guy, and I’m damn sure Guy Vernay can’t make a crostoli to save his skinny ass.
I am thinking of writing to the UCI to suggest they hold a 21 day indoor Comp-u-Trainer Tour where everyone has to ride an indoor trainer for 5 hours a day – then we’d see some drug use worth testing for. No need for a Biological Passport to detect a jolly good session on the hooch. Just look for Vinokourov to be chowing down on endless packets of Smith's Salt and Vinegar. Seriously, next time I have to climb on that damn thing I’m going to drop some crack-cocaine first to help pass the time.
Was going to start my structured training program last Monday, but have delayed for a week to let the back settle. All going well on that front, and might even tippy-toe out for a run tonight.
Bring it on
