Stupid Things We've Done on the Trainer

Training
1

A group of us did a group workout this weekend and my eyes were still focused on int HR and int Cadence…and I was convinced my HR monitor and cadence from the KICKR were just wrong…and I was sick of all of it…then one of the other guys pointed out that it was interval HR and interval cadence…which made me realize why it was taking so long for my cadence to move on the screen…it wasn’t “instantaneous cadence/HR”…the much bigger numbers are the ones to focus on…SMH

I bet people have funnier stories than me…

I kept trying to hit 400 watts but couldn’t get it above 375.

Then I realized I was doing 3,750 watts.

Ha, I wish.

Somehow I got a flat on my trainer. No clue how that one happened. I’ve tried the reaching for something on the ground. Does not work well.

I live in a fairly small university dorm room, so the only place I can fit my trainer is right between my bed and the wall. There have been a couple of occasions when I’ve brought people back to my room after a night out only to have them drunkenly trip over it at 3am in the morning.

My bike is okay, though :woman_shrugging:

  1. Dropped the towel and tried to grab it while still pedaling.

  2. Watched a technical “how to” video during a VO2 max workout - :no_good_man:

I put my S Works Venge on my direct drive trainer and didn’t do up the skewer properly.

Then did a sprint in Zwift where the frame jumped out the trainer…
