Wet Weather So Turbo

Well, what can I say.  Thought last night it might be well decent to get out for a spin tonight. Checked the weather and far near decided that it may be time to build an Ark.
 
However, seeing that I couldn't be bothered to "GOPHER" wood, I decided on dedicating time to catch up and re-ignite the Turbo training.
 
Threw on the shorts (Assos was a must as well) and headed out to the garage.  As I hadn't used it for a couple of weeks, mainly due to the fact the garage was a tip after I re-arranged it to change my oil in car, I hadn't really thought about the recent increase in temperatures.  Grant quite kindly notified me of the fact that he noticed it the last 2 nights and finished surrounded by a puddle. However, it turned out he was right.
 
1 Hour 15 mins of Carmichael Training Systems cycling for cadence and well and truly sorted. Can't believe that a Turbo Training looking all innocent, can force your body into some much work. But its does. And as per the comment in the previous paragraph, I finished the session looking like I had actually sat outside in the rain.
 
Nevertheless, a good shower afterwards soon sorted me out followed by lovely dinner. Actually increased my overall average speed and cadence but mainly noticed that my average heart rate during the session has reduced somewhat. Think the cycling may be helping me out.
 
Anyway, tomorrow night may be a road session weather permitting. Forecast looks good and therefore if it is, may go for a brief 30 miler.
