During my morning trainer ride this morning, I watched the newest Sufferfest video, "The Hunted." It follows a bit different story line than the others, meaning there is actually a story to this one that follows all the way through the video and makes it really interesting. It is definitely motivating; I found myself picking up the pace and trying to push myself when the goal was to simply do 90 minutes of fairly easy pedaling. This video has some longer intervals, which is what I've been wanting, and the producer makes it interesting and easy to stay interested in the longer intervals. Those longer intervals are followed by some great shorter takes for the last few minutes that will definitely finish you off for the workout if you've been putting in the appropriate effort throughout the workout.
Side note: I've loaded all my Sufferfest videos onto my Droid X, which makes it alot easier to get going in the morning. Starting the video on the phone take about ten seconds, versus several minutes to get going on the laptop. So much easier. The last two videos are about 1.5gb so they take up a fair amount of room relative to everything else on a 16gb card. The older videos are about 700mb each. I use the stock Android movie viewer for most of the videos but it it was unable to play "The Hunted" this morning.....I switch to DoubleTwist, and the video played with no problems.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
