My climbs have two personalities!?!


I'm stealing this fun idea from Spinning M.I. Jennifer Sage. I really like the challenge of introducing two completely different perspectives on a hill.  The first hill has jumps and surges where the second hill is more long and focused.   I also enjoyed "mashing" the two different genres of music for the two hills.  The first hill is cutie-pie Justin Timberlake and the second hill is a  Cirque Du Soleil combination.  I had to take out a few curse words and inserted "record scratches" and "tympani" sounds to replace the naughty words, it was a fun four hours to put this one together. 

If you guys like the tracks pop me an email and I'll get the tracks to you.

Well, there are certainly different types of hills (short steep ones and long more gradual ones) so it makes perfect sense to me to have different hill workouts and some variety too. I very impressed that you actually edit your music!

(And thanks for your comments on my blog. It's good to be missed!)

It's incredible how you put together music for your workouts. Different hills with different personalities makes sense to me!

I am so impressed that you splice and dice your own tracks....what software do you use to do that. I have been instructor for awhile and have always avoided "explicit" songs and have wished I could splice and dice my own.... Derivan23@gmail.com if you have time to shoot me those tracks. I really enjoy your blog! And I steal some GRAND ideas from you! Teehee hope you don't mind.... :)
