I did another ride. That’s 2 in 2 weekends (I’m counting today as part of ‘last’ weekend).
And 2 in 2 where it’s bloody pissed it down! Got an absolute drenching.
Felt much better than last week which is great. But did hit a total brick wall at about 60km and limped home. Started with a couple of mates who were doing a big 100miler, so hadn’t really thought about route and distance, just turned off at what felt like a sensible point. But it was further than I’d realised!
Still. Ended up with just under 80km and I’m not as smashed as last week. Legs are tired, but I’m OK this time.
Didn’t manage to run at all last week as was a bit chaotic with easter break, sparkies in the house etc.
Will try to get out a couple of times this week when we’re back in normal routine. See if I can get this old body ticking again!

I’m paying the price this morning for an hour of core in the gym yesterday, my whole torso feels like I have been in a fight. Probably should do this more than once every 6 months
