More Adventures with Rollers...

Dear Readers,

My name is Fatmarc. I once ate 68 hotdogs in 10 minutes. Just missed the world record. I also am currently 2/3 done with Grad School. How'd that happen?

Diane's knee is acting up again. She's been off the bike now for about 6 weeks. She's dealing with some tracking issues, and bad swelling. She's working with an awesome PT right now, and taking it patiently (as she can), and working to get back out on the bike. Total Bummer.

Diane can ride the rollers for very brief periods of time.

(old video- she can't go that hard yet...)

Today she was watching the tour while riding. She was getting caught up in the action, and at one point realized she was going harder than she should as the group neared the top of a mountain climb. She looked down quickly and realized she was on the edge of the rollers, and chugging along, almost flirting with disaster...

She got control of the situation,and mellowed out a bit. "I gotta be careful and not get caught up in this!" she said to herself.

She continued to spin, and watch the tour as the riders, flew down a mountain pass. Diane shrieks out again, as she realized she's starting to lean in and corners on the rollers as the riders on the TV corner. Once again, Diane narrowly avoided disaster on the rollers in the kitchen...

Diane finished up her spin, and I asked her how it went, to which she commented, "it went well, it was fun watching the tour, but I gotta say, I'm probably safer just listening to music..."

thanks for reading.
