Entries for Cape Epic 2011

Tonight, Bigman was back in the mood. Trains operating to timetable again and the kit organised. This would be a big one.

Off to Cowdenbeath and the scent of success in the air.

A 30 minute burst on the step machine with a bph of 130 and before you could say OB1CANOBE, 650 calories incinerated. It felt good.

Next during the rest period was a series of weight machines to build the core followed by the traditional 100 sit ups to move the 6 pack to the front. If only it was a easy as powerpoint presentations to move the image to the front!

The running treadmills were all full and so it was on to the bike. after 10 minutes of 45 at level 10 and 90 revs per minute, Bigman decided to have some 'fun'. Let's imagine the Witches Hat stage is even bigger and longer.

At 10 minutes the resistance was stepped up to 15 and held for 30 minutes. It felt great. The calories were rising faster than bankers bonuses. After a cool down to 56 minutes a further 450 calories were fried.

As a final heart beat buster , it was on to the treadmill and a 30 minute trot at 6.5 mph. Not nearly as pacey as the Ironman but he is after all a younger man. Another 350 calories scorched and the score on the door for today was an impressive 1400 calories.

On the way out Bigman bumped into an old neighbour who is poised to enter the CAPE EPIC 2011 when entries open on the final day. The Posse Ecosse is growing.
