In this months Triathlete magazine there is an article tilted ” Pre-Season Bike Basics”. It suggests doing one-foot drills, to improve pedaling efficiency. I got up around 0530, and got on the trainer to do the drills. I did 10 min. warm up, and then 30 sec. each leg, with 2 minutes easy pedaling in between. One foot drills are a lot harder than you think. Definitely good practice . My stroke is not smooth, at the top of the stroke, it seems like I’m kicking out. I guess I should do these more often.
After work I went to the park and did a 3 mile tempo run. It was cold, and some parts in part were still icy. I still managed a 7:15-7:30 pace. Later in the evening I had my favorite dinner at Ginger, and went to see “Yes Man” with Jim Carey. The movie was Okay. Funny, but a little long. 2.5 Stars.
