I'm missing the enjoyment too Hilda :-(
After a much needed sleep-in, I pulled out the windtrainer (or "mag" trainer as the tri-geek Miners calls it) this cold, wet & windy Saturday morning. It came with a training DVD led by Chris Carmichael, Lance's coach, so I figured I'd give it a go today. 50mins & loads of sweat later, I just about fell off the bike. Bloody tough but I really enjoyed it. Now that's done, I can lay on the couch, guilt free, reading for a couple of hours :-)
Long run in the Royal National Park tomorrow - just how long, I'll let the body decide tomorrow.

good luck tomorrow jen - do listen to your legs in particular :) nice work on the windtrainer, sounds like a torture instrument...
now YOU'RE being cheeky too!
Best of luck with the Nat Park run tomorrow, Sounds like it's going to be loads of fun - much like playing in the mud as an 8-year old
Oi you, there's a difference between a mag trainer and a wind trainer, okay. And it's got nothing to do with being a tri-geek, we cycle geeks are just as fussy! ;)
A mag trainer uses magnetic resistance. You can set the resistance independently of how fast the wheel rotates. In contrast, the windtrainer has a fan type resistance and the faster you go, the higher the resistance. So you can't spin easily on it. It's a nasty, nasty thing that makes you very, very tough, which is why I stay away from windtrainers!
