Lakes :P

Lakes with Beth. Weather was amazing, but got burnt :/ Had an awesome time :)

Got fed up with revision so went for a spin. Not as nice as yesterday, and sun barely came out, but not chilly (still shorts and short sleeves). First hundred metres or so legs felt dead, but eased up to a nice pace.

Went down to HC, back up to Swettenham. Through Swettenham and back down batemill lane skirting Over Peover (same distance as going through it but I found it has pretty much no traffic). Chain came off twice! First time in wash lane barely 3mins in, and then about 5mins from end on A50. Meh its just me not concentrating when changing gear. Lots of gear changes today cos of wind. Tail wind is beautiful, head wind is grim! Especially since had tail wind the whole time away from home then from half way back was a slog in most parts.

A lazy transition from bike... considered stopping, but was on a bit of a role. Went over to the Bells and tried what the magazine said about running style... Either I was pumped up on something special and didn't realise, or it really does work. When I was doing it and looked down at watch I was pulling 4minute ks!! And that's after 30 odd k on the bike and jelly legs!

Really impressed with the run. Felt amazing :)

Its a shame I lose so much time with stiles and getting back into the rhythm again :/ Still prefer off road though.

Revised from 10-4 with a half hour break for lunch and a couple of 10min ones, but basically a school day of work. Was grim in the morning, but brightened up and its actually warm!! 19C :o so I decided to go for a spin :)

Went up in Stunt Plane in morning!!! Epic :)

It was a grim day but felt like a bit of fresh air. I fitted the lights to my bike, but it looked like it was about to rain so opted to run instead. Low and behold it started drizzling after 1km and continued throughout which was quite refreshing even though I got really muddy and drenched. I did my route across fields to Goostrey and back through Shakerley Mere. The last section over the motorway bridge to home I had a split under 4:00min/km and got below 3:30 on the lane!!
I was aiming at under 40mins but only set this goal after I crossed the A50 with about 3km to go. Got faster with each 3km progressed into the run. I think its cos I was stiff from rugby yesterday and needed to loosen up a bit first. Downside of having no warm up :/

League Cup Semi Final vs Fleetwood (won our division).

We won 15-12!! Awesome game. We played better than the score line suggests, but who cares? We won and now into the final!!!
