Hottest Day of the year so far and I stupidly decided to cycle over to congleton and go up Mow Cop... died... stopped once on way up cos was overheating and stoof, but overall I wish I'd just done a 20km flat loop. The whole way back I felt like my legs had no energy.

Me vs Sam
0-6, 1-3
I finally got a game!!! :D Should've had another but "the ball was out"....
It was really humid and it rained a bit, but we both played some awesome tennis. Really good fun and last time we'll be able to play together till August I think.

Father's Day so played the Par 3 with Dad.
He scored 38 and I got 40, so gradually improving. It was a really nice day for it :)

Fancied a cycle earlier at 5 (basically when we ate...) so instead I tried out the hill I found on the skyride facebook page, Mow Cop? It was a bit of a bitch with some flat bits then stupidly steep bits. Didn't cycle far, but all bar 500m was with a guy called John so we had a nice chat and he gave me the low down on the hill :P
I'm definitely going to incorporate it into a regular ride. It'll be a long tough one so might have to save for August now.

Caught up on sleep last night but meant I missed out on a load of revision :/ Got pissed off with FP3 at 5pm so went for a nice long steady run.
Went to the bells, via the crown, then to A50 along back route, and to trading post. Then came home through shakerley mere.
Rained pretty much the whole time so got soaked... Never had the infamous nipple rubbing before, but today they're bloody sore! Probably cos my T-shirt was so heavy with water. Really weird and annoying!!

Highlight of the Day: Crashed into a car round a blind bend right by Radbrooke's... slammed on brakes and just skidded at least 5m straight into the back of a queue. I wasn't going that fast when I hit him and no damage done, just a shock. And annoyed that I was crap on the brakes.
Cycle was to destress after the M3 catastrophe... the less said the better.
I went along the A50 through HC today and out to Brereton then almost to Congleton along back roads but cut through to Lower Withington, then Over Peover.
Wasn't going quite as hard as Wednesday, but decent pace and length. Vicious head wind along A50 on way back!

I was planning to run after chem exam but was absolutely pissing it down, so went back with Beth instead.
Ran across fields (feet were soaked in first 500m) and potato fields aren't the most fun to run through :) but generally went quite well. First half was a bit faster pace, but enjoyed. Ran to trading post on usual route.

I hadn't done any actual sport in last 2 days which is silly really, but Sunday it pissed it down, so guess I just didn't get time.
I went out to HC then through Swettenham to Congleton. Quite a bit more undulating over there which was tough. Back through Lower Withington and Over Peover.
I really enjoyed it. Was zooming along. Tackled most inclines pretty damn efficiently and at a decent pace throughout. I actually almost used up all water in both bottles today since it was pretty warm and took on some food (crunchy granola) at about 25km mark because I didn't think I'd make it to the end without. Mentally it helped.
Max speed: 57km/h
I was fast on the flat when I was in the zone. Used the uber padded shorts and they were shit. Dunno what's up :/
Looking back at distances I've recently done, maybe I was being a bit daft going this far, but I managed quite well I think. I'd really like to ride with someone else though... Dead boring and can draft when tired.

Finally played the actual course at Woodside. Its 9 holes and I went round in 45 which I was really please with :) Dad managed 42. After the first 3 holes I played amazingly!
It was a really nice day and good to do something with Dad.
I should take watch next time and see how far we walk. Could measure drives too :)

First run in almost 3 weeks!! Was about to go on a cycle but started raining quite heavily at end of lane and don't trust bike in wet. By the time I'd changed to run it was lovely sunshine but was in run zone. Felt weird but went quite well.

Tennis with Sam. Was actually quite fun. After being let down over golf and then no time for cycling and got roped into being taxi to rents...
Was wearing watch and heart rate monitor just to see how far I move and how much work I put in. Clearly not very far or energetic.
Lost 6-0 but really enjoyed it :)

Was frustrated about the "no golf" incident so after being taxi for rents and serving up dinner I hit the road and just got rid of excess energy. Just what I needed to calm down. Also probably the latest I've ridden my bike...
40km/h on flat for a decent distance. Probably 500m this time. Really burnt legs.

The rain just held off at Stade de Delamere Park :P

rhr:79
Was feeling less ill so went out for a gentle cycle. Got a puncture after 4km and had no spare so had to get dad to rescue me... Was annoying since I then had to wait till Tuesday 7th for new inner and had no time to ride for next few days after. Didn't feel like running... so not done anything for far too long :(
