Training (4p)

Had a cyst removed from my tailbone yesterday and wasn't sure if I would be able to train today or not. Not anything major, just had to cut it out, took about 10 minutes and isn't something I would recommend doing if you shy or don't enjoy needles in your tailbone....not fun. Anyway, after the doc finished, I was like, "hey doc, I should probably take tomorrow off right?" fully knowing that I had the 300 FY on the schedule:) He was like, "nope, no restrictions, your good to go". I prodded him again, "yeah, but probably not a good idea to sit on a bike or do any cycling right?"...."No restrictions, anything you want to do is fine with me". FML

So I decided to see how I felt today and go from there. I felt fine, not happy about it, but I felt fine...which meant the Aerodyne was a go. 

Did a couple 1m warm-ups and held the pace I needed to get 300 but didn't think I had a chance since not spending much time on the AD over the past 6 months. PR for this was 308. 

300 FY
*303
*Started the first 90 seconds pretty aggressively and kept my average watts over 500. Avg Watts dropped from there on continuously until 1m to go when I had to sprint. Was on pace through about 4m and then started to get behind. Was 3 cals behind halfway, 6 cals behind at the 7m mark and was at 255 with 1m to go. Had to bleed pretty bad the last minute to get to the 300 mark but with 30 seconds to go, I knew I had it and just had to grind. Super pumped about this, 6th time doing it. First 4 failed, last two 300+. 

Took about 10m before I could walk normal but wasn't as bad as I remember it last time.


If you would have told me that I would row 15k in under 60m AND get 303 cals in 10m on the AD and I would be beat in BOTH I would have said you were crazy but that is exactly what happened....thanks to Baity, he is 2/2 and if he stays healthy this season, you may want to write that name down.
