Event: Park Race 3: Grovelands Park
Note
From my latest 'Prudential Ride 100' email:
"You probably won’t be surprised to hear that the foundations of endurance are laid on long rides"
uh-oh...

Cycling 44:00 [2] 17.0 km (23.2 kph)

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.

(rest day)
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.
