Well its not long now - under two weeks and this weekend has been hectic. Didnt manage to get any training in on Friday because of work and also a house viewing - we need to find a house asap as have a sale on the house - so this is now priority to the top of our task list. The viewings continued over the weekend, but did manage to get some training in.
Saturday morning I managed to get out on the Slice across into Cheshire - and it actually felt good!!!!! It was actually the longest ride I've done on the TT bike, and it didn't feel too bad at all. The 66 miles - managing to average 19 mph over the 3.5 hours, which wasn't too bad, as I wasn't really pushing, just getting used to riding in the position for a decent length of time. See the garmin trace for the ride here
On Sunday I was planning on getting out, but we took the kids out to the Candle Workshops and Cheshire Ice Cream Factory - as well as more house viewings. So no training - and instead a rest day - which I'm still feeling I need to be honest.
Anyway after spending the day with the kids again on Monday, I managed to get out for a hilly 12 mile run over Rhosemor - calves feeling quite tight as still havent managed to get in a decent sports massage for a couple of weeks. Anyway managed it in under 90 mins - avg 7 28s -- with HR really low. Enjoying the taper down anyway - just need to freshen the legs - and aslo think the trainers I'm using are gone now!!!!!! so need to start using the newer Asics!!!!! Might help the freshen up.
Garmin trace on the run is here
