Another easy ride on Zwift this morning. Very close to hitting my target 200W/100bpm.
1hr, 197W, 101bpm
I’m enjoying trying to keep HR down and power up. It helps keep it interesting during an easy ride

I have found a flaw in my plan to go for a bike ride. I dont have any cycling kit that fits.

If it makes you feel better. Mrs FP said I was looking tired after my run and a stressful week, so she’s ordered me to lie in bed all afternoon.
Our room is cool, shutters closed and the fan on… A/C is on in LO’s room. It’s an oasis of cool calm bliss. ( for now 
)

Ah man I don’t feel Bolton ready after that. That was supposed to be an easy ride. Combination of the heat and constant headwind on the way home made it feel like an absolute chore.
I thought that would be a nice little confidence boost but I feel awful right now. If I had to do Bolton today I’d be absolute pants. I wanted to do a little brick after but to top it all off I don’t have a door key and the Mrs has gone out!

I was knackered after 33km today, meant to be running 100km in 4wks. You got out there and did some stuff. It’s all ‘hay in the barn’ for race day.

My word it is hot out there. Couldnt keep my HR down. Despite being fat and unfit think the heat was adding about 15bpm just keeping me cool.
Enjoyed it though. Didnt go far, rolling course up to Woburn deer park and back.

I think I was really dehydrated at the end of that ride and put myself in a right hole. That’s also despite drinking something like 5 litres of fluid over the course of the ride, my pee is very dark to say the least. Oddly don’t feel like drinking and just want to eat.
Yes @Mungo2 15 degrees and drizzle all day please!!
You’re absolutely right @FatPom, that’s another century in the bank and 5 1/2 hours of riding. I’ll think of today when the going gets tough on race day for sure!
