Joined the group at Walter's -- Bill and Siel, Gary, Dusty, Tim, and Walter -- for a session. He has it all set up, just hook up your bike, put in a figure for watts, someone chooses the program, and off you go for an hour. Program this time, after a good warm-up, was 3 x 20 x (10" hard, 20" easy) with 5' easy betweens blocks.
Things brightened up significantly when I discovered the power of the little electronic box in front of me, more precisely the up and down arrows, even more precisely the down arrow, that being the magic button, you press it and number of watts the machine demands of you drops by one. You keep pressing it, the number keeps dropping. Nirvana.
So I went from the first block being a struggle, wondering how I would manage to survive the hour, to (after hitting the down button a lot of times) the second and third blocks being not unpleasant at all.
So nice when you can just let your ego take a timeout.
