Something new this season to the TNT program is coached team workouts. Every Thursday night the teams get together in 2 locations in the Bay Area for strength and conditioning workouts. The cycle team has been matched up with the tri team (tri-athletes) for the workouts...no pressure there...haha! Our head coach, Wayne runs the training on a local college track...yes, it is outside and it was very cold. Rain or shine he wants us to attend to condition us into better athletes...he has his work cut out for him:)
Last night was our first workout...luckily he took it easy on us. It felt like I was back in High School in a P.E. class...except the students looked more like the teachers. It was a reality check to find out how out of shape we really were...thanks Wayne. I already know I am not the most flexible but working out with the tri team was a constant reminder. When the coach sent us out onto the track to do laps, it was very apparent of who was on which team, as most of the tri's took right off onto the track and the cycle team still had quizzical looks on there faces realizing we actually had to do laps...what? My thought was...isn't this why I ride a bike...so I don't have to run...haha!
We all survived the first training session and now are better prepared for the upcoming workouts. I learned I need warmer workout gear and to bring a towel or yoga mat...the stadium surface is a killer on the knees when he had us on the ground exercising. We also received more information from the coaches about what to expect this Saturday. Ready or not...let the training begin!
