Minus 10 is great for...

Snowmobiling, ice fishing, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, a run, a walk...but NOT for biking on your tri-bike!! Called my cycling training partner this morning and said..nope, sorry, call me a coward but I like my fingers and toes and do not want to freeze them today!! He agreed. So onto the trainer I go. The workout was a warm-up and then 4 times 8 minutes at a steady state HR, then 4 minutes easy pedalling. JP had asked for the first 3 in that steady state HR and then the 4th one as hard as I could go. He does not think my HR zones are correct as they compare way off target to my running HR zones. A bit of a field test today to see what's what. I actually did 4 at the SS HR and then the fifth was the killer. Then the instructions were get on the run as quickly as possible after a bit of easy spinning. The run was 5 minutes of easy, find your legs running and then a tempo run (HR 160-166). Holy CRAP!! That nearly f-ing killed me!! I got up to 160 quite easily but staying there was a chore!! Garmin tells me for that 15 minutes of torture, the average HR was 161!! Had to take a serious walk break after this. Then ran out the rest of the 45 minutes. And it was c-c-cold. My hair was all sweaty and the bits that were not under my hat froze!! C'mon weather!! A little cooperation, please!!
