Had a hospital appointment this morning, an abdominal ultrasound scan, a follow-up investigation following a lot of negative allergy tests recently! This gave me the time to start pulling together e-mail addresses and an e-mail about our ride to send out asking for sponsorship.
Sent out an e-mail to IndigoBlue staff about the ride, Rob (my boss) has said that IndigoBlue will sponsor me, but I haven't followed that up yet - decided to wait until Iain and Jules have decided how they want to pitch requests for corporate sponsorship.
Looked at a few blogs and found this one - was easy to set up and get a nice URL so I thought why not! Though it's not linked in to any sports or cycling site, which may affect who reads this! My objective is to keep everyone I talk to about sponsorship up to date on my life and progress!
Hopefully when people see how much effort is involved in getting ready to do such a challenging event they may be prepared to sponsor that little bit more! Thanks to Stuart P and Chris W for being the first to sponsor me though the Just Giving site:
Got home from work and Clare had made tea, not a usual experience! Sausage & mash - yum! Gave me time to put Joseph to bed, we are reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at the moment, let my tea go down and then go out for a ride. The training schedule says 10 miles, but I want to do more than that. I did a slightly shortened version of the ride on Sunday, but felt good a couple of miles from home and took a detour to take in a few extra miles!
21 miles; 1hr 31 mins (I had to wait for train at a level crossing in Sawbridgeworth) ; Avg HR 156; Max HR 171
