daily cycling record

so volunteered for a research project run by some classmates to see if energy supplements have any effect on exercise performance.

basically, just have to cycle continuously for 5 mins at max effort and they will take the distance covered.

sounds simple? hmmm. first, it's done at 7 am so have to get up at 6am to prepare to go. it's cold in the morning when i have to cycle to the gym, and worst of all, i can't eat at all 3 hours before the test. this is to eliminate the effect food has on my performance when they start feeding me energy supplements, which is basically just sugar water.

so basically, i am cold and hungry, and depending on amount of sleep, possibly cranky when i do the test. yep, i think being cranky can induce a better performance. ^^

anyway, for the next 2 weeks i will be doing that daily. and just to see if sugar water has any effect, let's keep a little record shall we?

sept 3 2007, monday
distance covered in 5 mins +1 min warm up (no supplements): 3.24 km

wow, i wished i could run that fast! but cycling-wise, hmmmm, about ~38km/h. maybe i should have chosen a lower/no resistance on the ex bike for nicer numbers. would be nice to hit 50 km/h i think. lol.

ps. brisbane is at the back of my mind...some day i will upload ^^
