Sunday I decided to stay out of the heat and ride the trainer while watching Floyd bonk on La Toussuire. Knocked out 20 minutes of riding when my rear tire sprung a leak. That proved to be a perfectly sucky time for a flat, after just getting warmed up. On top of that, I had no extra tubes so I had to take a tube out of a another wheel. This thing was a bitch and a half to try and get the tire off. Sweat was pouring off me and I was inside.
After my tussle with the tube, I mixed in some intervals and had a total ride time of 1:30. Sweat poured off me the whole time but it had to be infinitely better than being outside at 1pm. The plan is for a similar workout tonight. It's time to get serious for the last month of the season. State Crit is this Sunday.

I don't care how hot it is... it has to be better than sitting on the trainer.
Suck it up and get outside and ride.
The trainer can be boring but it provides some good specific training. If I were to go out I fear I'd feel the heat and loaf around and not do much of anything.
