Unfortunately clipped another cyclist coming the other way at the ludicrous tunnel through the roadworks near elephant & castle. Cyclists are directed through a narrow low visibility passage and she appeared coming the other way at just the wrong time. She came off worst taking a fall but luckily was just shaken up with a couple of small scrapes.
I don't think either of us was going at a reckless speed, but by definition since we couldn't avoid one another we were going too fast. I think though we'd only have avoided a collision if we were off the bikes and walking. It would be better if the signs told us that rather than encouraging us to keep cycling.
Enforced rest - because instead of a half hour wardrobe design visit + run in the sun in the evening, I had a nearly 4 hour wardrobe design visit. 4 hours! At the end of it me and Em were pretty much shell-shocked, wondering how on earth she'd spun it out for so long.

More of a stop start fartlek session, trying to work on a quicker technique. Think I'm moving a fair bit faster but got very tired very quickly.

V long walk/jog down recoveries so went really hard on each rep. Times: 59, 58, 56, 56, 54, 55, 56, 54.
Did this same session in January and my times were 63-71 secs - nice to see some real progress.
