Pro-Sports

I don’t know what was in my mind at the time, but I agreed to go for a Spinning class at Celebrity Fitness with PL in the evening of the day post-Malakoff. As if my rear end wasn’t hurting enough… Perhaps I figured that Malakoff would be the race to kick start my back to fitness program.

When I sat on the bike, the familiar sensation of a raw tush was the first thing that greeted me. There was one good thing about riding a stationary bike – it’s a little easier to place the behind in a less uncomfortable position without having to worry about falling off the bike.

Besides the painful butt, that was where the similarity ended. Somehow, the sensation just isn’t the same riding a stationary bike. I’m not sure how to describe it. I mean, it’s not just the fact that I’m not moving, the scenery isn’t changing and that there is no wind in my face. There is something distinctively different. I’ll have to keep this in mind for the next time if I decide to train indoors for a bike race…

Apart from the sore behind, I felt good to power it out through most of the class. Although, I think my fitness isn’t nearly anywhere near what it used to be because I felt a little light-headed and unsteady as I stepped off the bike at the end of the class. I was also slightly nauseous by the time we were walking back to the changing rooms.

Since I don’t sport one of those funky heart-rate monitors that SKT and G have, I can’t be certain if I went into overkill on the heart rate. Although I’m sure I don’t really need a heart-rate monitor to tell that I pushed myself a little too hard during the class. Another thing to keep in mind for the next class – take it easy. I have plenty of time to myself back to the line.
