Tdisc stopped at the door

After a tough start to the week...the team got things back on track yesterday with a great swim and weights session. Today would usually be our traditional thursday spin class, but with the way the schedule goes it turned out to be a break. So we decided to continue on with a cycling day at the gym at upei. I had a great night sleep and woke up in great time for the workout...had a great breakfast all ready to bag myself on the bike. So as were walking into the gym we get stopped at the door and asked for our numbers. I don't have one I just come for spin classes on thursday...thinking that it would be ok for me to continue knowing i'm registered for another set. I guess not...I was told to go down and fill out a trial form. So I thought to myself...."do I drop the tdisc bomb...do I drop the tdisc bomb?" I refrained and for the sake of my workout headed back to the TTF to ride my bike on the indoor trainer. A low Tdiscpye would have taken it poorly and ruined his workout...but not the new one....I had a great bike ride. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I was unable to bike with my teamates. Tdisckree and I after the bike met up with The admiral and Capt. Tdiscgreggy for the run. I felt great in the run and the team ran great. Late in the run when the admiral dropped out...There was team talk going on about the red island relay. Tdisckree and Tdiscgreggy were talking about goals for the race. Some think that picking teams this early will hurt the team...I can't disagree more...It has given us the boost we need in the dog days of winter. In our mind we set very realistic goals for both teams. Now it's up to us to prepare ourselves as best we can to reach them.

Tommorow should be a smooth day for Tdisc. We have sprints than a swim. I expect the sprints to be very fast....but under control.

It's tough to train for a triathlon during an Island winter. One thing you must do is ride your bike on an indoor trainer. If you are a triathlete or someone just looking to do some indoor spinning than I have come across the perfect class for you.
