Been pre-occupied with some big changes going on at work. Had to cancel holiday until Oct due to lack of suitable flights.
Been doing some mountain biking to keep things ticking over. Did a 100Km Cross Coutnry MTB on Sunday - took me 7 hours with only a back brake - didnt manage to fall off once!
Considering I havent had any big ride outs of anything near this distance was impressed with my skills on the technical stuff. However at 50km were shot, but managed to get through the next 50Km (plus a 5-7Km detour!)
Did a few little waddles last week, however nothing significant. Planning to carefully ease back into the waddles later this week and next. Easy does it I say. Have bought a new Polar watch: RS800CX. Looking forward using it. Have been taking HRate and weight every morning now, without fail so dead serious about my recovery strategies from now on!
Why has it take this long?!
OK, will keep you posted as the waddles build. Aiming for a big 10km performance in Nov - its the one I missed last year and the year before due to illness and poor form, its a city loop, big crowd and fast. Have to get that sub-40 min this year!
Catch up soon,
