bike

So, after a dodgy nights sleep (far too warm / sweating my arse off), jumped on the scales to see if the BF had dropped at all since I've eaten fairly well (minus chocolate bits - you know, the leftovers; they won't eat themselves you know!).

Anyhow, just to warn the people who think these scales are accurate, they really can't be, as even though I think I was pretty de-hydrated the scales decided to tell me I was 17.3% Body fat! Not a chance!

So, had my porridge, two cups of coffee and a pint of water. Went for a bike ride an hour later. My legs were cabbaged after about 45 minutes, hip flexors were really tight, and apart from that the temp was bad : 1 deg C!Only took about 1/2 a litre of water (inc electrolyte to be safe), and it was very hard to drink due to the temp.

Time was ok considering, but I think the previous couple of days exercise had caught up with me! Got home, had a protein shake with a bit of honey.

Still a nice hot shower, scrambled eggs, bacon and toast was well earned! resting until tomorrows 5 x 5 attack! But won't be including the leg stuff tomorrow or they will be overtrained for this week.
