Bike Fit Results

After my bike fit Thursday, I finally got on the bike yesterday. Wow, I am going to kick some butt this year. Well at least I feel that way. I had a 1:45 bike that flew by. My shoulders never bothered me once. My neck did a little bit at the beginning just because of the big drop in my handle bars. That will take some getting use to, but if I didn't look up as far as I normally do, it didn't bother me at all. I didn't move around on the seat like I normally do looking for that "comfortable" spot. I have the cyclops fluid trainer and I actually was pushing one gear harder than I normally do because I had that much more power into my pedals. I actually had to back it off a gear so that I could keep my higher cadence without jacking my heart rate up. I am so excited to see how this plays out for my races this year. One thing I noticed today, day after my long bike, is that my shoulders do not bother me at all. Usually my left shoulder is tight and gives me a little bit of a headache. It feels so good today. Just for that simple nagging pain not do be here made it all worth it. Be sure you all wave at me when I am flying by you on the bike this year! ;)
