I know its a case of what you get out is what you put in, but having a turbo for 3 years i've hardly used it, due to boredom on it, no real excitement.
Anyway, its cats and dogs outside so hooked my turbo up, stuck on 'fight club' sufferfest video, read the riot act on intensity and off i went.
So pootling along at 3/10, nice warm up, nothing drastic, it evens warns you that you will die later on. 'Hell i wont i thought, if i'm suffering i'll just ease off'.
So onto first part, sitting at 5/10's, start warming up nicely then bam. onto 7/10 road racing. Intensity goes up, i'm doing what i (imaginary) can to stay with the field before - SHAZAM, a bloody attack. Upto 10/10's now, head down spinning like a mutha, before back down to 7/10's. This carries on before we hit time trail section.
Off i go, chasing Wiggins, 7/10's keeping it fast,spinning well, intensity good, sweat dripping all over kitchen floor then - jeez - another attack, 10/10's, head down chase the git down, back down to 7/10's. This goes on for 4 mins , attacking, time trialling before we hit the climb, 2:30 mins of pain at 8/10's.
By now i'm sweating everywhere, tops off, bibs undone, hands covered in sweat, grips soaking but i'm sticking in there, not giving in. Teeth clenched then - another attack, upto 10/10's again.
This repeats all over again for 40 mins.
Its amazing how you want to stick in there and what a workout. Best hour ever on a turbo and looking forward to 'Angels' tonight.
Anyone else been there , done that. For those not, wow is all i can say
