cycle 1:29:46 [2] 36.64 km (2:27 / km) +212m 2:23 / km
shoes: Avanti Blade

Been feeling pretty crap for a few weeks at least. Slow, lethargic, no energy. Combined with sore achilles and knee and slowly getting fatter, and I've not been super excited in general.

Finally decided that even if I was sick and it was really bad for me, it would, in some ways, still make me feel better to go and do some exercise. Not exactly a State Champs run, but seeing as I really can't run at all, I walked to work and pulled my bike out of the shed.

Headed north first, taking it pretty easy, as I knew I would be coming back into a pretty strong headwind. Ended up having a grind up the hill into White Peaks to explore a couple of roads that I've never been down.

Unsurprisingly, the first half was relatively enjoyable. The combination of headwind, rough road surfaces and my extraordinary lack of fitness combined to remind me just why I like running so much more than cycling.

The longest ride I have done on the blade for a couple of years at least. How sad.
