Take Two

After my guys at Cranked Bike Studio not only sorted out my cleat situation, but also cleaned up the trainer bike Klein's drivetrain and gave her some new handlebar tape, I properly clipped in once I had her back on the trainer looking like new.

Full Carmichael today, but despite picking up an extra gear during the hardest effort segments of the second rep, my total miles equaled just 10.

10. That's it.

I would have thought it might be higher with the added effort, but obviously I also took the easy portions a little TOO easy I guess!

Down the road I think I will have to just do a full Carmichael that starts in one stiffer gear from where I start now, thus making the entire workout a little tougher and mean a few more miles as well.

I didn't want to do that today because this was the first test of the new cleats, which can always be tricky with nailing the exact foot position properly. If it's off your body will tell you with aches you are not supposed to have.
