Being the cool and centred dude that I am I thought I would impress Beth at the spin class with my poise, fitness, strength and tenacity. What I actually did was pour the contents of my water bottle over myself as I went to take a swig and the top popped off, drenching me and the bike. Hmm, not quite the image of unbridled macho manhood I was trying to convey.
Tuesday I took no exercise but today I got up early and time trialled 25km before work. I repeated the route Peaches, Half Mile and I did on Sunday (but without upsetting anyone), a rolling route with some mild climbs but no great descents. I set myself a target of 50 minutes to cover the 25km. I actually managed 53:14minutes, so slightly above target, but I included the warm up in the route and probably didn't push myself as hard as I could, so I'm not too disappointed.
It was however a glorious morning. No cloud, pale blue sky, the sun just rising behind me as I hit the road at 06:10. A hazy mist clung to the ground, yet to be burnt off by the impending heat, which I dipped in and out of as the road rose and fell. A great way to start the day (shame I had to spend the rest of it stuck in an office). Next time...
