haha nearly missed that as 1) didnt recognise the avatar you were replying to and 2) didn’t know our car was a Suzuki
Mrs FT arranged car before I got over. They asked her what sort of car she wanted- she said cheap. Anything else? White. Oh that’s Ok madam, all cars are white for 1500 miles in any direction. Think is about £350 per month rental
As you do !
Hope it’s nothing serious
Played tennis with Mrs T yesterday in 100 degree heat with one of those machines at the other end that fires the balls at you - great fun - haven’t played tennis for about 10 years
Short run this morning to see how the legs were - apart from a tight left calf all good - RTTS here we come next weekend
Hi.
Sorry gingerbongo
You’re one of my favourite tritalkers
Yes I was drunk.
There was no excuse regardless
I apologise
(It was a good night)
But regardless
No excuses
Best wishes
7ks still shit though 
… too soon
Hope not to incur @toby_Hole_in_the_legs wrath.
Anyway testing out the hamstring to see what I can and cannot do.
Gentle 30 minute cycle.
Well 32 minutes. 13.5km. 204m elevation.
My 2yr Strava fitness graph tells a story.
Training is going in the right direction, fastest laps in the lake this morning & 11 track laps, 5km at 4:40 km average is starting to feel like proper running.
Onwards and upwards 
Quality stuff buddy!
Look at that build!
Are we talking about your Avatar 
First time on a bike in a fortnight.
A grim 143km in 5hrs 13mins.
Rained for the first hour.
WindyAF. 12°
Even did Frodsham Hill, which was grim.
Snap but I only did an hour. Could not be arsed and it’s blowing a gale out. Did run an hour in the hills with my reluctant Labrador earlier who refuses to go faster than a rapid trot.
I desperately need some motivation. Like an entry to Lanza or Badlands gravel ultra or Celtman. Else I can’t be faffed.
Good work tho!
It was the Club BBQ Ride, obvs I wasn’t going to the BBQ afterwards, but tried to ride with the club again…
We set off at 8am, they stopped at 10:40 for breakfast, I went home I’d only just had my
Slice of toast at 7:50am 
I wanted to be home (and ready to go back out!) by 2pm, so could’ve done another 18km …
But having had; a 600ml and 700ml bottle, plus two Nakd bars and two gone off Wiggle gels, I was feeling a little light headed 
Big start to the week, poor end. But I kind of anticipated it. Unfortunately no swimming which isn’t ideal.
Didn’t manage to get anything in on the weekend. To be fair, I was solo with the girls so it was a bit hopeful to have expected anything. Did manage an 11km ride with my daughter before dinner though. All counts!
Seeing so many strong performances this weekend has kind of inspired me and kind of really dampened my own personal expectations, especially as I continue to struggle to hit any big weeks.
After this year I think I’ll go back to halves. They’re much easier to fit into life!
Great, you’ve have time to crew me.
Last week was the first week since the beginning of April that I managed a week that could loosely be called training and contained three different disciplines. It still wasn’t a big week though, 7:45. Wales would be too easy if you trained, yes? 
haha, exactly !!
On the positive side, I’m going into peak phase ‘fresh’ and I’ve pulled back time avoiding taper 
hahaha. My graph lives in Fresh!
This is like a sandbag off!
I will have to have a think about how i can schedule in this week’s activities though. Inset day, teacher strikes, Mrs GB having to switch 2 working days around. All present those annoying little life niggles. I also want to get out for a long run with my mates soon on the coast path or something. And i need to stop putting off getting out on the TT bike for many uncomfortable hours. Plus my bike fit budget has just been wasted on a new phone.
