Things you need to train on a turbo

[Bill Gates]

Forced by the weather to get the turbo out today.

Every time I got settled I realised that I'd forgotton something. First the towel, then my head band, forgot to start the rock CD, wrong adjustment on the resistance,. Finally got going and then when it was too late realised I'd forgotton the drink bottle. Aaaargh just kept going.

Next time I'm making a list:

Clock with second hand
HRM and chest band
Towel
Music
Headband
Drink
Fan
Open window
HR chart showing % of MHR
Adjust resistance to the right level

Am I missing anything?

My turbo sits on a mat which provides some level of accoustic damping. If I forget that I can't really stand more than about five minutes before I have to get off and go and find it

I can't really stand more than about five minutes before I have to get off

That pretty much sums up my experience of the turbo

Hah! I programme in a 5 minute twiddle for exactly this reason. During the twiddle I remember everything I've forgotten. I then get back off, sort it all and start properly.
