Testing 1,2,3

Here's some pictures of my lactic testing at Dr. Dag VanElslande's office today (Pictured is his assistant). The first test begins at 100 watts and increases by 50 watts every 3 minutes. Blood is drawn from my ear to track my lactic levels. The second test is a 3 minute all out effort. Oh, the pain. If you can't tell, the pictures are in chronological order!

Starting out, nice and easy


First blood


Starting to sweat


Getting red in the face and stabbed once again


Burning


Getting into the pain zone


The start of the second test... all out sprint


"Settling" into my highest sustainable wattage for 3 minutes


Just after the test... about to pass out


Recovery


Ready to go again!...?
