My Trainer Hates Me

We just got a new trainer. We moved from magnetic to fluid. Fluid resistance is progressive resistance. Meaning, the harder you go the harder it is to pedal. Kind of like riding against gravity. My old nemesis.

In one sense, the trainer is great. Gives a nice workout. Breathed new life into old and boring training programs. I'll find the sweet spots where I'm going as hard as I can without feeling like someone is pulling my muscles out and flogging me with them.

In a word . . . OW.

But in a good way. It will help me work on my weak spots. I'll consider this a rebuilding. We have the technology. I'll be that man. Better than I was before. Better, stronger, faster.
