We rode our bikes Saturday as part of the Icebreaker Triathlon. Sunday we rested. Monday we rode our trainers for about 40 minutes while watching an episode of Battlestar Galactica. Tuesday was swimming, so we didn’t ride, but we got back on to ride again tonight. That means we’re riding every other day now. This may be the recipe for success.

Tonight’s ride was while watching an episode of Bones. I started warming up before the episode actually started, and continued through the whole thing. I didn’t stop until the credits were done rolling. But the best part was how great it felt afterwards. I think I may really start liking this sport. I just hope more riding translates into better bike times eventually.

One thing I did tonight that I don’t usually do is switch resistance an cadence for a specified amount of time. Tonight I decided I’d switch up to my big crank from the opening credits until the first commercial break. That turned out to be really hard, but it made riding on my smaller crank not so bad after that. I also switched up to a high gear near the end of the show so I could “finish strong”. It made it a lot of fun, and I think I got a lot out of it.
