Day 4/4 - ready for next mini break

I'm loving the 5:55am alarm which is enabling me to do an at least 45min pre work workout. Today was a run. Felt great 

Groin is okay, I can def feel it which I've decided is good as it shows I'm doing more and more. But it's also very annoying as I'm obviously not fully healed yet from my accident over 2 years ago. 

Coach Emma and physio Max plus Mr. Liss are all convinced I'll be 100% by CLS which is excellent as that'll be when I'm about to step up my Outlaw training.

Focus for the next few weeks? 

Cementing the below big three…

1. Physio stretches

2. Physio strength work 

3. Coach Emma's S&C

Reflecting on the 100km

Yeah, I didn't eat enough.

I need to listen to some podcasts, read some recipe books and organise better nutrition.

Sunday I had:

x2 peanut butter and marmite wholemeal rolls

x3 chocolate oaty bars 

x1 banana

A pork scratching 

Numerous biscuits  

Half a date flapjack

At least x5 bottles of water

x4 cups of tea 

So not enough which may have caused the weird pins and needles. 

Love our sport - so much to organise xx

Gridiron 107.5km bike ride

Wow.

Did it.

Groin was so so soooo sore.

However my recovery (currently) is remarkable. Tired but not hugely sore and able to move about. Uber to A's for food as don't think I'd of been able to cycle - certainly didn't want to cycle.

So let's break it down.

At about 35km my groin was sore and I had weird pins and needles / restless legs. In fact the sore groin and restless legs kept going the rest of the day. Groin getting steadily sorer. 

Right shoulder so sore - reckon that's all about position on the bike for all those hours.

Really happy with fact my bits felt fine. Shorts good, chamois cream worked so well. 

Glutes sore 

Quads sore

Top of thighs under butt - sore 

Walked up one hill 

With about 25km to go if someone said did I want a lift I'd of bitten off their hand for one. 

Really tough. 

Also not 100% about nutrition. 

The bacon bap at the end reinvigorated me so much I'm wondering if I'd don't eat enough on the ride 🤔

Absolutely delighted though.

Did it.
