Snow joke

No training this weekend as expected. Initially I thought the snow would prevent any riding anyway making me feel a bit better about another blank weekend but driving around on Saturday I saw plenty of roadies out making the most of the dry but cold day. Never the less, I probably had as much fun if not more at Amelia’s pool party. We hired Kenilworth baths, they put a giant inflatable in the middle of the pool and a few floatation mats and away you go. Its no more sophisticated than everyone climbs on and tries to push everyone else off. Needless to say all the kids ganged up on me and after an hour I was exhausted but happy.
Afterwards we retired to the café for hot chocolate and chips all round followed by chocolate birthday cake. What could be better?

I did manage an hour of reps on the static bike in the gym on Saturday and a hard spin session today. Tony has a new technique if focusing on watts rather than gears which seems to work really well. I burned nearly 600 Kcalories. That’s two and a bit Mars bars! So, on top of commuting on my MTB in the snow (which was sketchy!) and a gym session on Wednesday I’ve not done too badly.

I see its light by 7:30am now. I might have to start some early morning rides when the weather picks up. Beth goes into hospital next week and will be in for a week and then on a six week recovery. I’m not sure how that’s going to affect my ability to train, but then there are more important things in life. I’ll let you know how she gets on.

Fundraising has started in earnest and I’m about a third of the way to my target of £1250, but I am a bit nervous that Comic relief will bleed everyone dry next month so I want to hit my total as soon as I can.
