A hard week catches up with me

Struggled out of bed to the sound of torrential rain and made it down to the meeting point for 630am to meet the other Early Birds.

Everyone else saw sense and chose to stay in bed, so I cycled down to Cavendish and back. There were strong winds and driving rain on the way back and I went straight to my train cold, wet and very weary. Spent the rest of the day trying to warm up.

Still, it's been a good week's training. Over the last 7 days I've ridden 5 times (in total maybe 11 hours of riding, 160 hilly miles) and ran once (5 miles).

I've come though it with no mishaps.

Tomorrow is rest day and then a longish steady ride planned for Sunday.
