Sunday - 11/28/10 Hill Repeats - Finally!

The forecast for this Sunday was cold, but sunny!  Yeah, finally, I get to do a hill repeat this season!  We had 9 people show up for this morning's hill repeats.  These workouts are held at Mt. Eden in Cupertino.  It's only about 7/10 of a mile long, but there are some 8 - 9% grades.  Doesn't sound like a lot, but do it 4, 5, or even 6 times...it's definitely a good workout.  Plus, our coach always has us working on something when going up the hill each time.

Today, we climbed the hill 4 times. It sounded like a few of the participants had the toughest time when the coach asked us to try and stand all the way up!

Here's a pic of everyone enjoying the sun at the top of the hill on our last climb!

So, this was a pretty good week for me as far as workouts go.  Last Wednesday was Spin Class, Thursday (Thanksgiving day), I got out on the bike for a little leisure ride while Laarni, our two older kids (Hana and Marcus) and my niece and nephew (Halie and Daniel) went on a 4.5 mile run.  Friday, I did a 42 mile ride with some past TNT folks, Saturday was the buddy ride, and then this morning was our hill repeats.  Yeah, I'm pretty tired!  :o)  Can't wait to get back out on the bike again!  Goodnight!
