Fun in indoor cycling!

I have to admit, usually I dislike indoor cycling and I watch the clock and divide time to tell myself how much longer (1/4 of the way through, 3/4 to go...etc). But today things were just in sync. Danielle had fun music, the room felt energetic, and one benefit of swimming before I do cycling is that I don't get as hot (but sweat still just pours off of me). So that rocked. It was hard to keep my heart rate low. I sort of felt like I sometimes feel around food: like I'm drunk and I just don't care, so I'll eat whatever I please. Well, I felt high and I'll let my heart rate go wherever I please!

But I brought myself back down by reminding myself that later on in my training, when I have to maintain a higher heart rate, I'm going to long for these days of zone 2/zone 3 training.

Here are today's data.
