Day 2 cycling holiday

Sunday morning market in Pollensa
Bike ride to Sa Pobla via Alcudia. 
2:20 hours of cycling, 57km and a lovely drinks stop in their main square 

It was a glorious ride but i did spend a lot of it doing IM bike sums. 
180km - need to do in less than 8 hours, ideally 7:30 which means an average cycle speed of 25km/h
I'm not convinced I can do this yet
And that really is the key word 'yet'

It's exactly 3 calendar months until the Outlaw.
I still have plenty of time 🤗

Mallorca cycling holiday - 1st full day

So far so very very good 🥳

Watch the Mallorca 312 - 8,000+ participants cycled past our villa - was amazing!!

Then Jenny A and I went to collect our hire bikes
67min walk to Pollenca
Bus to Port Pollenca 
Then once got our bikes, cycled back to villa to get sorted for bike ride to the Lighthouse

Port Pollenca for lunch
Then off to the Lighthouse
Was amazing
I did it last year and wow, today's ride felt so much easier!!! 
Talk about feeling so much confident for #LizzieGoesLong

We did approx 70k in about 4 hours and 1000m / 3000 feet of climbing. Scary descents but mainly because the views were so spectacular I had to be careful of not cycling off the edge of the mountains 😂

Fabulous first full day of the holiday

End of week 6 and the Southampton half / marathon cheering

I need to stop panicking and focus on the fact that I am just getting on with it and if I keep just getting on with it I'll be fine!!!!


Plus although today I was working - day 1 of 4, I still managed to have an awesome time supporting the Southampton marathon and half marathon. 

Much looking out of my window at work as runners ran past with me saying to colleagues ooh that's XX from tri club, Lordshill, Running Sisters etc…. and then a quick 20 mins of nipping outside for cowbell ringing so I could whoop and cheer Anabel as she ran through the Uni   

I really really really love supporting 🥳
