Workout of the Day (WOD)

Buckhead Route Bike Ride

35 miles of hills. Details

I was able to stay with the group on all hills and lead on most. Going to the spin class has definitely increased my power. One of the other riders commented on my increased stamina.

Workout of the Day (WOD)

Yoga

Performed a 20+- minute routine instructed by Chaz at Yogamazing.

I like this guy's approach. He takes emails from students and puts together a series of poses to address specific physical issues a person is experiencing or provide enhanced health benefits. The cycling specific instruction has several poses for opening and stretching the hips and hip flexors which tend to get very tight in cyclists.

Static Holds

35sec work/25 sec rest for 5 rounds

• Ring row holds
• Kettlebell squat holds
• Double dumbbell overhead walks
• Back extension holds

The squat holds were difficult. After the first round my legs would shake uncontrollably and that made the walk part of the overhead walk harder.

West End Bike

39 mile bike ride around town. Details

Second time I've rode fasting for around 18 hours. I was on the front most of the ride with some heavy head winds at times and around mile 30 I started to fade. Not sure if it was from being fasted or just conditioning.
