Did anyone mention it was hot?! Was bearable on my commute in, but then went for a nice ride with some work buddies in Exeter during lunch break. Was like riding into a flippin hairdryer!
Think the hottest part of the day is due at 4pm. Just in time for my ride home! Think i’ll just be cruising pace!
FTFY 
We did just do a bit of a silly race on a segment towards the end. Being the consummate triafleet, i was most put out by having to ride significantly over 85% of my FTP!! 
Did hit 1.1k watts though. Legs were feeling it coming back up the hill to the office! Taken like an hour to stop sweating in my flippin work shirt and trousers 
(one for the rant thread)
8 k in 42 mins … steady away.
Various gym tests that whilst still tough are seeming less impossible each time I do them.
Except walking lunges … knee to the floor…200 ms carrying 20 kg
Anyone got any hacks or tips how to do these?

Black clouds in the sky looked like it was gonna piss down, so did 3 laps of Tick Tock on Zwift - didn’t bloody rain though
1:24 / 217W NP / 0.66IF / 105HR
Decided to weight myself before and after
80.1kg before
1.2l of fluid in
79.1kg after
Sweat
Fest
4.5 mile run this morning, managed 7:00 minute miles.
1.5 mile lunchtime amble.
It’s sodding boiling.
Nuffink today. Don’t really plan on much now. My left is definitely not happy after my tumble yesterday. Maybe a 6-7 walk tomorrow or Thurs and that will be it.
1hr of 5 mins Z1 with 1 min Z6 power
hard to ride Z1 uphill on Zwift…virtually stopped! 
1 hr 15 min run accompanied by Mrs T on her bike.
Beautiful evening and only a mere 26 degrees
5 x 200m off 3:30
10 x 100m off 1:40
1800m pull and paddles
200m as 25m all out, 10 seconds recovery
4 x 1 mile at the track earlier, average 6:35 minute miles.
Also managed a 20 minute spin class at lunch. So sweaty.
Managed a short bike ride, which was made longer when my original cafe was closed!
Also managed to pick up my Autumn 3/4’s this morning so looked like a right div with those on in 26c sunshine 
Rest Day.
Farted around making a NoPinz race belt, sorting out my new vented Aerohead and looking at race kit options.
Again.
Bike is ready for a quick spin tomorrow (I Zwift the morning before the race, to avoid any mishaps!) and a little brick off - all in full race kit.
Wrote a few lists, checked them twice, can’t decide if I’ll be naughty or nice 
Feeling good, much better than IMUK, more relaxed 
Have to say there were a lot of NoPinz belts at Ironbourne at the weekend especially amongst the pointy end crew. These are clearly becoming a lot more popular
Sick, not training. Chest infection but not Covid at least.
Gym brick session today. 45 minutes of Low cadence / High cadence intervals ( 110% FTP ) with recovery between, then on the treadmill for 30 minutes at my intended HM pace.
76 minute Zwift
216W NP / 0.66IF / 105HR
Well, positives innit
Drove to the local lake. Realised once I set off I’d forgotten my watch. Nevermind.
Water temp was 26.7 degrees!!
Couldn’t be bothered with wetsuit hassle. Did 3 laps for 2250 metres in my budgie smugglers.
Absolutely lovely
