"Great training log mate!"

Cheers, sometimes I think there is too much detail, but it's good to look back on really.
Went out for a BH monday bike ride today!

Was a lot windier than I expected, and still trying to get my fitness / cycling fitness specifically, back to where it was last year. The loop I generally do is 20 mile, and attempt it from either direction depending on which way I think the wind is going, but today may have been the wrong decision!
Always seems against you the wind, and demotivates at points too, but the time has dropped back to a better level, more of an average time at 73 mins, and considering my PB is 66 mins, the inclusion of wind, and too much traffic puts 73 mins at a pretty good mark.

Legs are tired now, but I needed to get out as I've drunk myself stupid this weekend. Pretty much done 2 and a half bottles of JD in, plus beer, wine and vodka too. Food-wise is same as always, pretty healthy except Saturday nights speical take-away Chinese treat!

Got far too much but had the rest for supper! crispy duck, sezchuan chicken, fried rice, ribs, hot and spicy chicken wings, prawn crakers and some curry sauce to top it off! Stuffed but worth it!
Needed to eat more anyway with all the energy I'm currently burning! Still, no beer until at least next weekend now! Think I need to abstain for a while, the JD and coke was actually staining my teeth!

Actually forgot to add that the other reason to ride today was to test the dodgy knee and ankle. Held up ok, but the knee was getting quite tight towards the last 5 mins of the loop, probably as I was pushing myself that little bit harder, and when the legs are tired, the other muscles begin to compensate so they all end up contributing to stress on the weak points. Have to see how it feels tomorrow! I need to ensure its fine if I decide to go for a swim!
