Simulation Trianing Pedal Hard at Mellow Johnny's in Austin, Texas

Okay, so this evening i headed downtown to Mellow Johnny's to ride the simulation Danskin course. It was a great ride and a really good experience. Everyone in the shop was super helpful and excited that we were doing the Danskin. I didn't know what to expect so i didn't have any goals. I knew how long the course was,but didn't know about the hills, except what i heard at the REI class. I got on my bike and started riding. 11.49 miles. The pro there was talking about gears and i told him i wasn't good at working the gears and he helped me along. He told me where i should keep my watts and how i should maximize my energy so i am consistent the entire time and not have these blasts of energy. So i did it, 1 hour and 14 minutes, average about 10 miles an hour. Consistency in maintaining my watts and i wasn't even spent. My HR was about 120- 130 the entire time. I did really well and it gave me the courage to keep going. I am getting excited. I got a great video which i am going to add so you can get excited too. I still an trying to work on doing bricks , this has been the hardest thing. My diet has also been slacking. My goal is to stay focused the next months and achieve my goals. Motivational videos.. let's go you ROCK!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nET5KJk-Wzw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E9miwR-Ajk
