good Home again 14.02 mi 00:58 14.5mph pace
Nice to be riding. Feel like i am progressing- leg still very sore though. Got back to town, and went around the strand- too windy to cross the new bridge.

good to work 13.52 mi 00:58 14.1mph pace
couldnt get going, struggled to get my heart rate up. Right shin very sore, especially when I stood up. However, saying all that, it was 1 minute quicker than last week. Enjoyed it though.

Slow out of Ilfracombe- I can feel my extra weight and stiffness, but the 'top end' seems to be there- I can ride fast for a longer time. Also am comfortable on the drops. Bloody love it!

good Virgin London Marathon 2013 26.68 mi 05:28 12:18 pace

Lots of good thoughts the stillness of the estuary collecting jackets at half way andnwobbly lycra! And the furthest we have ran in a long time. But the main one is the pacing our most consistent yet 5 weeks to fine tune things

great 5 mile course 5 mi 00:44 08:52 pace
Supposed to be 4 miles, but was going well, so I popped another on there. Aimed for a loosener after Sunday, but was going well. Feel like some shape is coming (even if that shape is '8').
Your a one! Mile hill as well
