So I kinda illegally* took a spin class at work this morning. Today is my only day off this week (crazy, i know), so I decided to join the masses of the insane and spend an hour sweating my ass off on a bike. I made it through ... somehow ... though regretfully I had to cut down the resistance from where I should have been at thanks to suffering three mini asthma attacks in the first 25 minutes. I also had to get off the bike about 10 minutes after that to get rid of mucus (since i'm still sick), but hey.
The good news is that it kicked my ass (literally). The bad news is, it means that I probably still have a long way to go in terms of bike training too. The good news related to that is that the tri is still about three months away.
In other news, quite a few of my co-workers are trying to talk me into running the Bolder Boulder (a 10k, so twice the distance of what i did last weekend) over Memorial Day, but I'm kind of thinking no.
*Illegally, because employees are only allowed to take spin classes if there's a free bike. Today's class was wait-listed, which meant I should have given up my bike. Luckily, the spin instructor and half the regulars love me and didn't want me to leave.
