The week of the bike...

Turns out last week's run mileage took its toll. Mild tendinitis in my left shin means running is off for the next week or so, no point in risking it all at this stage. I figure I've put the running distance in so there's no point in dwelling on it. So this all means it is the week of the bike, I'm hoping to top 700k for the next seven days.

Yesterday I road the Chilton sportive route with some other IMUK competitors and bugger me sideways, that is one hilly route, not sure the TT bike was such a great shout. 165k in just over 6 hours of leg breaking agony. That said it's going to be worse than anything I'll come across on the 7th. Friday will be the longest ride I'll be undertaking this season, 200k through Buckinghamshire and Sunday is a recce down in Dorset so I'll suppose I'll know exactly what I'm dealing with.
Congrats to all those Hillingdon members who raced in Nottingham especially "Strong like Lion" who won the O50s race!
