Back on the bike again!
Mar2120094:44 p.m.
Friday I did a speed session in the pool. The hardest part was:
100m on 1 min 45 sec
75m on 1 min 30 sec
50m on 1 min
Repeat x 4
The times were very tight for me but I did just about manage to do each one within the time.
I did a total of 3k (120 lengths) in about 1 hr 10 min.
Today I had my long run with the club. I naturally woke up early so I decided to get the bike out and cycle down to the club. The journey down was lovely. Sun shining, not much traffic, and I have not lost any of my (very limited) confidence through ignoring the bike for 6 months. Even my speed was similar to last year, despite delibratly taking it easy as I didn't want to turn up tired to the run.
But I hadn't thought it through properly. Coming back I was already tired, hungry and dehydrated and I found cycling hard going. In fact, I can't remember much of the journey as it was all a blur.
