Bank Holiday: Royal Wedding, which I kinda missed, so just an extra day off school.

500km mark on new bike (since September 2010). It's awesome :)

Felt like I haven't been on bike in a while, and its Wilmslow Triathlon next Sunday, so did practice 20km aiming for race pace. Took ages to get into a rhythm... legs a bit groggy from not waking up and run yesterday... Changed seat position to as far forward as it goes, but got cramp in left calf half way round cos it changed the angle I was pushing at, so raised seat by about 2cm which seemed to help. Through Over Peover and along A50 to home was mint! Was hitting 40km/h in a really stream-lined position.

3 Day week comes to an end... genuinely need the break! :o

Half fancied a run, but wanted to stop so many times :/ Knee was a bit weird, but kept a steady pace and it faded. Went to Bells, then through the car park up that little road and looped back round to the bridge over the river. Then to A50, down Booth Bed Lane to Goostrey and back across A50, through Shakeley Mere to home.

Fastest pace: 3:37/km

In gym on exercise bike. It's a bit weird, but I didn't fancy intervals on road bike. Worked up an incredible sweat!! Was literally dripping off my face!

100 warm up
50x5 tempo (45sec each)

Tennis for first time in 2011 with Beth at courts on the estate :) couldn't have gone much worse...
