Back to reality…..
After the freaky API 25 ride, back to the grind. Wet
& windy on the Sunday after, so 90 mins @ 135 bpm on the turbo watching
misc documentaries. Legs felt ok
actually – thought they’d be ruined.
Rubbish weather
again Monday, so another 90 mins @ 135.
Then, hurrah, much
nicer day on Tuesday so went out on the MTB for just under 3 hours @ av HR
130bpm. Felt a bit tired but that’s more
to do with a stressful few days with lots of rows at work and lots of shouting
at my boss!! Thank God for cycling – my little
bit of Transcendentalism.
Weds was another
day of crap work related stuff so I turned up for the evening club TT feeling a
bit down and not really in the mood. 15
miles – a strange distance, not sure I’ve ever done one of those before. Sluggish warm-up but eventually got going and
felt pretty good.
Because of my mood
etc, I couldn’t push too hard, in fact all I could push myself to was a max of just
162 bpm. Anyway, I must have been going
harder than I thought as I was the quickest, which was a total and utter shock.
Drove home through
the most amazing thunderstorm feeling much more upbeat about life in general.
Those 35 minutes of
pure Zen had worked wonders!
