A weekend to be proud of

Well an unexpected 50km on Friday evening and a solid 80km on Sunday morning made it a weekend to be proud of. Friday was a nice speedy session in the Phoenix Park. Sunday was a morning session heading south on the N11 a 80km session that took just less than 4 hours. The sun was out and it was a good test of stamina and of heat endurance. The return journey saw the temp soar but luckily layer technology saved the day. This session was sponsored by Organix Carrot Cake bars and Magnum Ice Creams!

Makes it all worth it

Fair enough I have had it easy for the last 2 weeks, 10 days in Spain with too much wedding cake! It is so easy to loose weeks and weeks of training in just a few days. I looked after myself in Spain, ate well and health, until the wedding when it all went pear shaped.

Anyway back on the bike this morning. Departure at 6:40 towards the park. I could sense the rain on the way but knew I could beat it. No cars no cyclist no one in the park except me and a few deers.

Beat the rain back and got the motivation to get back in the saddle. Time is ticking.
