Music to suffer by

This morning I jumped on the computrainer and did one of the harder courses I've done so far - the Madeira World Championships course. It's tough. (three climbs that hit 15% - and they go on for awhile.) This morning I set a new personal best - 1:23:34 This is the music I was listening to:

8675309 Jenny
Addicted to Love
Another One Bites The Dust
Ballroom Blitz
Barracuda
Bat Out of Hell
Bicycle
Black Betty
Bohemian Rhapsody
Centerfold
Cover of The Rolling Stones
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Crocodile Rock
Cum On Feel The Noise
Doin' It Right
Don't Bring Me Down
Don't Bring Me Down (yes, repeat - don't know how that happened.)
Dude Looks Like A Lady
Everybody Dance Now
Eye of the Tiger
Fat Bottomed Girls
Gimme All Your Lovin
Girl You Really Got Me Now

I made it a point of really accelerating over every climb - in fact, when the grade lessened to 10% I was able to force myself to spin back up to 70-80 (my low gear was a 39X23) and then start shifting up as the grade continued to lessen.

Best part - I felt as good as I've ever felt on a bike - and afterwards I didn't have the "wobblies" that I usually get after a really strenuous ride on the computrainer.

Bart told me today that he's actually starting to get a little afraid - I think he's a ways from having to afraid, but I'm hoping that I can continue to make the kind of progress I've made the last week, then Kitty will have to be VERY AFRAID!
