Wall 1 - John 1

The big rematch was Saturday at 12, armed with a Nutrigrain and half a banana I began the 2hr effort. After overcooking lap 1 (6:07min/miles) I throttled back, ate every 40 mins and managed to maintain a steady ~6.18min/mile pace. A little slower than I want to hit at Bramley but solid. Including the cool down I finished with a little over 19 miles covered in the time and an avg. HR well under AT. A solid day at the office.

Sunday was a 4hr ride and a 45 min run. As anyone who bothered to step outside on Sunday will have realised it was a tad gusty and this may have hampered progress. Also, after my victory over "the wall" on Saturday I was brought back down to earth by a crushing defeat (appropriate choice of words) to my crotch at the hands of my saddle... more tweaking needed me thinks.
The ride came in shy (72 miles in 3:40) but the run was tough. I was aiming for 6.6 miles in 45 mins as I want to hit 1:30 at Watford in 2 weeks time having cycled there, and I just held on... just.

How is my rest day already half over?
