early bird workout

got up early-style at 4am - i think because i was nervous of being late for my massage this morning - but got in my first indoor Computrainer workout of the year. using an indoor trainer is beneficial, especially one that holds power - like a Computrainer, so you can lock in your desired wattage and then just focus on pedaling. of course, i threw in the 2007 tour de france dvd so listening to phil liggett and paul sherwin spitting our their play-by-play dialogue made the workout shoot by quickly. the biggest drawback is going through multiple towels in an effort to keep my isaac joule aerotic tt bike from getting washed away in the flood of sweat.

a quick three mile transition run to keep that feeling of running off the bike, then a big breakfast and a few cups of 100% royal kona coffee before my first massage since before ironman canada in august. my legs received a beating from massage therapist Lisa Lessing, formerly Lisa Lahti - a top professional triathlete and dedicated mother of two girls and wife to the greatest triathlete of all-time, Simon Lessing.
