There will be no gloating in this post...

OK, so I got beat on the watt bike again. We ended up racing the 1000 meter again and I had my worst time yet. Grrrrrrrr....I'm starting to realize that I'm a sore loser :-) Thank goodness I don't want to be a track racer. I don't see a future for myself in all out sprints at all.

The rest of my workout buddies are getting faster and faster times...I think we need to start doing a longer distance!
I was supposed to do a long ride today but the weather had other plans. Pouring rain all freaking day long. All of a sudden we are getting Seattle weather. It's probably a good thing because I've had a pounding headache and the rain forced me to take it easy.

Rain though...blech. I would much rather ride in snow. Especially because I need the practice. I just signed up for my first race of 2012. I've been to Marquette a lot during the summer but never in the winter. I absolutely can't wait. The snow bike race is new this year but the ski races have been going on for years and the race waves take several hours to get everyone out on the course. It will be fun to watch.

I have no hopes for the weather tomorrow as there is like a 100% chance of rain again. I'm planning on sitting on the trainer after work then doing another strength workout afterwards. Hopefully this weekend will be clear!

I'm surprised you're not planning to do this: http://www.farmteamracing.com/2011/11/farmers-fat-bike-race.html

I was considering it on my way from Detroit to Dubuque, Iowa for the Triple D race on the 15th.

Sorry for anonymous comment (too lazy to register), wanted to ask about the Wattbike, is it worth it? Seem to be reading a lot about it recently, and it looks impressive, but does it win over a turbo?

When I work out at home I use my own mountain bike on the trainer. However, I think that the Watt bike is a great training tool! It hurts a whole lot :-)
