Bikes!

I used my trainer last week for the first time, for 20 min. Wow, I was surprised how much I sweated, at least as much if not more than when I run that long. I thought those little T-shaped sweat catchers were kind of silly, but I see now why they were invented. Since I was warned about the magnetic ones getting so hot as to burn skin, I was curious. After I got done, I felt the magnets, and they were just barely warm. I guess I wasn't going fast enough long enough to really heat up the unit. Probably won't either

All in all I am VERY excited about the setup, and glad I made the purchase. Sometime I'll get a shot of our little home gym area, the treadmill, bike, exercise ball and free weights. Not bad at all for a non-contender...

Next thing you know you'll be trolling for sponsors for your world record attempt.

Indisputably the world's best cyclist, Armstrong, the six-time winner of the Tour de France, has been hinting broadly that he might take a year hiatus from the event he has dominated since 1999. He has also speculated that his next goal may be a sporting challenge virtually unknown in the United States until now.

For the rest of the world, however, the Hour Record, as it is known, holds as much magnetism as ascending Mount Everest. The object is for a solo rider to ride as far as possible in 60 minutes on a banked velodrome.

It comes from knowing that you set a goal, and rose to the challenge. Strength comes from within.
