Lactate Bike Test

I'm sitting with my legs up, I've eaten and I'm starting to feel the nausea go away. That is comforting.

Tonight... we had our Bike lactate test. It was 20 minutes all out to see our max wattage/weight and heart rate abilities. Let me say.. It was HARD. I did what coach asked.. I gave it EVERYTHING. I felt nauseous after 13 minutes. But I knew I had to give it just seven more minutes. Funny.. as I write this now, 7 more minutes doesn't seem that long. It DID feel like it was a LONG time, but I just put my head down and kept going. I was happy to have my ipod, it helped me keep the blinders on. I felt so successful and it made my "self talk" very motivating! I'm looking forward to the analysis of my numbers. I'll keep you posted. Glad to have this in my "back pocket!" as my BFF says.

Sleeping now sounds like a great idea...
