Hello trainer my old friend, I've come to sweat on you again...



...the sounds of silence.  More like the whirring, buzzing, humming of an indoor fluid trainer and fan.  This was my Sunday, following a very enjoyable and spirited Saturday. 

Saturday kicked off the 2011 season with a fantastic team ride.  It may be the closest we get to a training camp this year.  I got in almost 70 miles and felt good.  I am starting to think that I am more fit now than I was during the race season.  Could it be that I need to adjust my in-season training to include some cross-training or gym time?  I think so.

Last off-season was an excellent POWER building experience.  I saw some awesome numbers.  However, The body weight went up due to a lack of planning.  Additionally, the training plan needed to be tweaked to match my strengths and weaknesses.  Specifically for muscles, my hip adductor complex is WEAK.  My hip flexors are also WEAK.  Those two areas are being moved to the begining of the gym routines; hit them while you're fresh.
