Drained....

Sunday 27 Jan 2008

After a late night last night (at Rachel & Kevin's), we were all up at 8am and in church by 9am! Good start to the day! Canon Eddie is back from his break and there was a young girl being welcomed into the church during mass - a very children friendly mass and for once the kids were mostly well behaved!

Swimming after mass & home for lunch - the kids are going to have a "home cinema" this afternoon while I'm out again.

Set off about 2pm on much the same route as yesterday (without the missed turn). The first 20 miles were ok and then I started to feel a bit drained - but kept going and managed to avoid short-cuts home! After a long slog round the ring road, I'd not just over 37 miles and decided to do a few more miles rather than go straight home, carried on round the ring road a bit and back through town and home in the dark...

At last a ride of over 40 miles :-) 41 miles in 2 hrs 50 mins, avg HR 146, max HR 164

Total for the week: 97 miles (If I'd realised I'd have done 3 more tonight!)
