Off The Bike

Well lookie here – it’s 2017!  I had a few marathons this month so I had to be off the bike.  My favorite thing to do off the bike?  Index Cards!!!

I have index cards with numbers on them – 15 Seconds / 30 Seconds / 45 Seconds / 1 Minute.  The students pick them and that’s how far we either sprint and recover or if on a hill stand and sit.  On the sprints I take out the :45 and 1 minute once they are drawn.  One class chose the 15 seconds every single one.  We were all exhausted!
