Spinning

I find it amusing that a spinning class can either involve old ladies working on a craft or athletes sweating their brains out, depending on context.

Anyway, the spinning class with a Bledsoe brace actually worked out just fine. Next time I'll make sure I have an SPD cleat in my right shoe. And ideally I would add an inset into my boot where an SPD cleat could fit... but I might just be lazy and go without.

I had forgotten that spinning classes usually involve "jumps" or getting out of the saddle. I skipped those, but still got my heart rate up to 170. By the end it was generally hanging around 160, and for the majority of the class it was over 150 (except for longer rest periods). All in all, it was a pretty easy way to get in a good workout, so I'll probably try to go a couple of times per week.
