Death wish

Friday rest day

Saturday mayhem on forest trails 8 miles before my wipe out on a bridge and Darren's bust chain brought proceedings to a halt.

Sunday rest day

Monday 9 miles on mountain bike.

Wanderings

Yesterday 3 miles plus wandering around zoo

Rest day today

Very Cross country shuffle

My legs felt fine this morning, arse felt rough, note to self get new saddle or armour plate padding. New app on phone tells me I am 9th out of 20 on a hill climb (Letton hill) I did yesterday, did not know it did such a thing or that I was in any sort of race but now I know I know I will be back and caning it on that section. Not that I am in anyway competitive.
Cross country bimble for 3.2 miles took 1 hour 10 minutes and tardy time has a lot to do with looking for a small plastic box hidden amongst the rocks at Hergest trig point. Geo cache. Nil points no find, not happy, back home again with no old plastic tat to show how good I am.

Time out!

Got a few things wrong today, not 50 miles but 47.77 and not under three hours like plan but 3 hours 3 minutes and 20 seconds, plus 20 minutes for stops. Average speed of 14.1 mph, max speed of 42 mph with 621 metres of climbs and apparently burned 4115 calories. Split times are interesting, first mile av sped 4.6 mph, but that included walk around house and down lane fastest mile was mile nine at av 27mph. 

Felt good, lovely sunny day, slight head wind at times, massive lorries tried to kill me as per usual three dead badgers :(

Injury time

Injury has forced lack of serious training and laziness has meant no records

But this week some activity and less laziness

So almost new personal best of 23.2 km in 30 minutes

Some messing around on new mountain bike

A couple of strolls carrying a backpack

and today 14km in 30 minutes on the exercise bike.

All being well a 50 mile bike ride tomorrow.

New challenge for 2015 being finalised to raise money for Myloma UK.
