This morning was supposed to be a recovery day. It sure didn't feel like one. I'm not sure if it's because it was such a long, hard week or if my body is still getting used to 4:45am wake-ups followed by 2+ hour workouts. Or maybe I'm just a baby. Your pick.

This morning was the first day I used the Suunto heart rate transmitter belt in the spin room. While probably not necessary (as most of the FTE athletes already own a heart rate monitor), they sure are fun. Every athlete wearing a belt has his/her heart rate and percentage of maximum H.R. projected on a screen at the front of the room. This way, you can see who's working hard (CheChu) and who's dogging it (Scott - he's gawbage).
