Petition

After reading the Halligans post yesterday and reading Coach Rich's post about his adventures, how beautiful it is where he lives, the weather is perfect yada yada.  I think we should start a petition going that Coach Rich should have to lock himself on the trainer for the month of January to feel some pain. As the saying goes walk a mile in my shoes, how about ride an hour locked in one position.

 

What do you say crew you with me, or am I the only one gonna get kicked in the N*tz

  • I'm with you - lock him up!
  • I bet Rich doesn't even own a trainer! Ihis could be a good bribe/bet payoff for us. Maybe if we do X Rich agrees to do a trainer workout and post it on live vid?
  • Are you nuts!?!?! I'm guessing that any pain inflicted on Coach R will come back to us through harder, more intense efforts in the plans.... YIKES! You're playing with TNT there...

    I'm going to respectfully decline participation for the safety of us all!

  •  I'm not scared, I think its a great idea!  Bring me more pain, it will only make me stronger, just like indoor training will do for Rich.  It was 5 this morning....  5.   I don't feel sorry for him!!

  • I'm with Olivia, anything we TRY (operative word here) to force on Rich will come back to bite us in the ass. No thanks.

    Be jealous all you want of his surroundings, climate, etc (I know I am), but don't bring the rain on the rest of us with the wrath of Coach Dick! I'm skeered!
  • i don't think Rich has even been on a trainer for a full workout
  • I also think he doesn't have one. And I'm going to throw R a little empathy here -- nothing is worse than a drainer ride when you could be out in beautiful land. Drainer when it is 15 below and the world covered in snow and salt? Smart choice.

     

  • "Drainer when it is 15 below"

    You are one tough chic!!  I live where it is extremely cold and snowy.  We have see daily HIGHS of "0" already.  My cut off is usually around 25ish.  It's usually the snow that keeps me in.   





     

  • I'm frightened!  That would be like putting Coach Rich in Azkaban Prison!  He'd go mad!  After escaping, he would take it out on the entire team....He'd inflict more pain on us by making the OS Training even harder or do something like magically change Mile 18 to Mile 1.8!   PLEASE!  I implore you!  Think this through thoroughly!  

     

     

  •  C'mon guys/gals!  I would like to think this would be a good challenge that he would humbly accept... maybe not for a whole winter season, but every once in a while when its really frigid in a said place, he could suffer with us.  This way, its not all the time, but just a little taste.  Too bad I don't have a video camera with my pc, we could pick dates and times and skype the whole thing with a bunch of use crying all together!  I think coach Rich would embrace that kind of challenge being the hard athlete that he is! 

  • My vote: Lock him up!

    Every once in a while is easy though.  I do that all year round because of work schedule, daylight, etc.

    There is a big difference between that and a full month of every single workout in the pave cave (or 20 weeks of the OS).

    I don't think Rich could make it 4 weeks of doing every workout as he wrote them on the trainer.

  • seems kinda mean...I'll sign it 

  • Where do I sign?
  • I think if I lived closer, i'd be worried. I'm not sure the trainer is mean. Mean would be on the trainer in that pink spedo ;-)
  • I swear I remember a pod cast where Rich say he can’t get himself to do the bike intervals on a trainer that he puts us through. I luv honest people!
    Ok – I will sign – chain him to the trainer in front a big window where he can see the great weather he has this time of year.
  • You guys are poking the bear... that's dangerous... I'm IN! image
  • love it... and, FWIW, I was stuck on the drainer and extra few months last spring bc of my hand surgery... so my pain lasted through May, long past the time I should have been outside... I think just 1 month is more than fair for the coach who writes our workouts to understand and feel the pain!
  • 2 hours. Aero. No fan. Listening to The Best of Air Supply.
  • I was trying to get him to sign up for the inaugural season of "EN Coach House Swap"....but he's not interested. Keep me posted!
  • I have an idea!!! When at ToC last year Rich was trying to get me to stay or come back to do some remodeling on his house since I'm apparently the only home builder and contractor known of on EN. I say over the winter months I'll go to SoCal repair his crib, while he stays at my snowy hometown and rides my trainer. I promise to ride "his climb" out his back yard and ride with Sarwis daily.
  • Doesn't it seem odd that with all this banter going on that Coach Rich has yet to chime in?????? Not sure if he is giggling or scheming......



    My vote is for a live streaming video  2x20 (2) FTP test so we can all watch and "cheer" him on..... =:-[

    We still live in America and our Constitution prohibits "Cruel and Unusual Punishment".  At least make him listen to ABBA!!

    We obviously have not offered up anything in exchange that would persuade him to take on the challenge.  Considering the recent ABBA and Air Supply references, it's gonna have to be something BIG!
