President Liz Wilson and I discussed for a long time about a topic for a "coop chat" presentation that I could give to the Nashville Triathlon Club. Finally I said, why listen to a presentation when we could be working out!

On the same day the Red Bull girls showed up. They were appreciated because a lot of people were suffering during the 2 1/2 hour workout we did that day.

It was nice having some new faces in the group on this day. Bob Albritton is training for New Orleans 70.3 in April, so this kind of early season, long and hard session was just right for him. Others found the workout just right for getting back into the swing of real training.
Highlights of the day included 30 minutes of 1-leg pedalling, swim-bike transitions, high cadence running drill transitions, and cadence v. mashly sets.

All in all I can say it was a nice addition having some NTC athletes attend Big Spin. I think some new participants were a little surprised how hard the workout was, and they pushed the regulars to step up their game. Big Spin is the kind of workout where anything can happen and you are going to break through some mental and physical barriers in the process.

BIG SPIN ENDS AT THE END OF APRIL. TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO TRY IT. IF YOU WAIT TOO LONG NOW, YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT ALL THE WAY TO FALL 09 TO BIG SPIN.
