62 days to go

I’m very focused now on making sure I don’t miss any training 

Didn’t sleep very well - so hot!
So was out by 9am for my 60min run.  Then chilled at the allotment - watered the greenhouse and drank a lot of water 

Coven lunch 12:30pm
Caught the 5pm train to Ashtead 

Hopefully I’ll sleep better tonight
I have ordered the same eye mask that H uses when sleeping to see if that’ll help. Should arrive tomorrow 🤗

63 days - exactly 9 weeks!!

Today has been good 
100 lengths of the Jubilee pool Although the garmin only registered 99
Then 70k bike ride in approx 3:15 - decided I’d just keep cycling, barely stopped at all, quick selfie while I transferred water bottles, didn’t even stop for a pee!

The bike shoes will not work for 180km
I washed my top box and it disintegrated so I need a new top box as well. 

Plus shoulders are sore
Hopefully the bike fit will help. I think I’ll get a little massage fun as well. 

21km/hr. 
It’s got to be at least 23km/hr
So still plenty to do!!

Spent the rest of the day doing very little 🤣

64 days to go

I’ve made flapjack ready for tomorrow’s long ride. Plus the High5 drink is 3 dessert spoons per water bottle plus a squirt of orange squash. 

This 4 day work shift has gone in a blink of an eye. Very busy but always fun.
