11 Week Check Up

Well, I am 11 weeks into the 2005 season, and have just over 90 hours logged on the bike. Thats not that exciting but wait, there is more. With those 90 hours I burned about 32,000 calories, climbed (and descended) 42,021 feet. That may seem like a lot of climbing but consider most of those hours were on the trainer. The minimum temperature was 19 (I seem to remember colder) and the maximum was 86 (thank you Maui).
Of course all this is according to my Polar monitor. Ah if it could only talk.
This week was to be a rest week, but my body upon hearing this news decided to become best pals with a cold virus and let it proliferate in my body. So the rest week was used recovering from a cold. I feel OK on the bike but anxiously await the early competition. I don't think my results early on will be indicitive of my season, but it certainly will reveal who has been naughty and nice over the winter.
Some more dreadful statistics. I have watched the 2004 TDF 5 times, the 2003, 3 times, and Top Gun twice. Countless hours of .mp3 tunes on the trainer.
