Day 99: Breaking in the Trainer

8:00AM

Home Trainer Ride

With the baby's imminent arrival I decided to get a bike trainer. I don't think I'll be able to get away for many workouts so I'm going to have to be selective for what I can do at the house versus at the gym.

The ride was pretty challenging. It was the first time I really put this trainer to the test. I wasn't hitting the gears I typically hit. I attributed this to either the lack of coolness in our apartment or the lack of team environment to motivate me.

In the end I realized I had the back wound way too tight. You could actually see particles of my rear tire that had worn off due to the friction. Looks like I'll be in the market for new tires soon too!
