The last week

I am so happy…after 5 days of riding at 8 mph pushing 400 watts (yes that actually happened!) I have a day without my bike…I have even lent my wheel to Robin J Granted I have a 20km run out to Famara …and a swim but then we have a gorgeous night planned to say adios to the ‘campies’ and spend a few hours in the discotheque.

The disco in La Santa is a funny place…its one of those time free zones where you look at your watch at 11pm and then the time 10mins later is 3am….its the same EVERY time as well – same music, same people, same bad behaviour haha . I hope to have some proper restraint tonight. This has been my hardest week for a long time and I don’t really want to spoil the progression in any way. We shall see my resolve!

I did my talk to the group last night and it seemed to go down really well. It always feels extra special to be congratulated on something other than sport. I am very honest in my talks as I would rather people judge me on the true facts and not half of them….I hope they got something out of it.

Meanwhile I’ve managed to get on top of my website inactivity and also got a couple of blogs going so you can be updated a little more.

Training meanwhile has been fantastic…I completed my treadmill test set very well and therefore have my marker of where I am at and I’m pleased. I do need to concentrate a little more on the speedier side of training as I enter the last week of my five week cycle conditioning phase so I know that the next few weeks is going to be tough.

I’ll be sad to see the back of the Brews but each week I am privileged to have a new set of friends to train with and make me laugh. Talking of laughs I’ll let you know how it goes tonight J
