Rollers!

Saturday was my birthday. I turned 36. Or, 18 for the second time around, right? Well I am in as good of shape, probably better than I was at 18. So, I've got that going for me. My training plan called for what amounted to a Oly distance race simulation. The forecast called for wicked wind and rain. Sure enough, Saturday morning brought both. Lucky for me, my wonderful significant other, Sarah, got me a sweet birthday present! Rollers!

This was my first ride on rollers and 2.5 hours on these made me aware of some less frequently used muscles. My hammies were pretty tired by the end. But, the sun came out for my brick run and I have to say I was very pleased with the pace. The time passed much more easily on the rollers than on a standard trainer and the resistance setting allowed for a harder-than-flat-road effort. Plus, my Kueen-K stayed nice and clean, OK, except for a little sweat.
