I can't believe that we are already on our 3rd set of hill climbs. I have been feeling a little congested lately with a sore throat but I couldn't pass up another day of hill climbs. Luckily we don't start until 10:30am so I got to sleep in a little bit today.
Once again we met at Monta Vista Park in Cupertino and road 3 miles to the base of Mt. Eden. Today's agenda called for 5 times up and down! 1st time up was warm up, 2nd time up we were to go up in a low gear with a high cadence, 3rd time up was to try standing up all the way up, and the 4th and 5th times were simply to make it to the top as fast as possible.
The Spin Classes I have been taking has definitely helped me to stand up while climbing. At least I have the technique down....I think! But it's still hard and my legs burn after a while. Going downhill was pretty fun. I did what Coach Dave told me to do by adjusting my handlebars and putting a shim in my brake lever definitely helped me to get to my brake levers. Now just some practice.
I am totally tired! Can't wait until Spin Class on Thursday! :)
