That's right! Barbie graced us with her presence and proceeded to tear through her 15 minute threshold intervals this morning. Must be all that winter unicycle training paying off at last. Pretty soon we're going to take the training wheels off her six13 so she can fully explore the limits of her off-season upgrade to Dura Ace while Chad, Waldorf and Statler try in vain to hold onto her wheel. Good luck, boys - better hope Beth doesn't show up too....We listened to a pretty wide variety of music in class this morning - I try to keep everyone happy (though I know full well that there are some people in this world who will never be happy). Pre-ride tunes included some Hendrix and Frampton. When we got into the work it was more cerebral for the first part then fun stuff to finish.
The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Crosstown Traffic - Jimi Hendrix
Show Me the Way - Peter Frampton
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
The Perfect Drug - Trent Reznor
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service
God Put a Smile Upon Your Face - Coldplay
There There - Radiohead
Top Jimmy - Van Halen
Someday I Suppose - Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Basket Case - Green Day
I'm a Believer - Smashmouth
American Idiot - Green Day
I'm Shipping Up to Boston - Dropkick Murphys
Then we rolled easy to Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult and London Calling by the Clash. It was a nearly full room today - everyone worked very hard and walked away having accomplished something before ever arriving at the office. Thanks everyone - what you do with your 'play' time makes my 'work' worthwhile.
Late-breaking news compliments of No-Twitch: I actually won the TT on Sunday with the fastest overall time by a girl on the day - another medal for the refrigerator door! Mike and Josh's times were good enough for 2nd in their age groups and 2nd and 5th in the Pro 1/2 field. Well done, tools. Can't wait for this weekend!! For now, I'll go put my feet up before the 'midweek gem' tonight. Yesterday's sprints and anaerobic power intervals roached me but good.
