On sunday I went with friends.....Christian and Stefan to Norwich on the bikes to watch the start of a Triathlon. They have now put their names down for a Sprint Triathlon in September. But I am going to save myself for a Duathlon in April 2010 at Diss. So little time to fit everything in! Then cycling back Stefan certainly pushed the pace.....I was knackered.....he seems to have an extra gear all the time! But it was good stuff and we had a craking pace on the way home.....16 mph average I believe.
Then football on Monday night, nice little warm up for an hour playing with George, then a full on hour with the boys in a seven a side ish game.
Up bright and early Tuesday morning for a 5.5 mile run, and Christian and I averaged 9 minute miles. Boy, did my legs feel it after the footbal the night before.
Today involved another early 5.15am start and 25 miles on the bike with Christian. Not a bad pace set .....15.5 mph average.....but not quite the 40 mph like in the Tour de France.....maybe one day.... on an extreme down hill...... with the wind behind...... and an engine on my bike!!!!!
I must get my bike serviced as the gears and brakes are in need of some repair.....it can't just be user error!
Next up is Saturday morning and hopefully another 25 - 30 miles .......
I really must sort some 'MS Society' orange coloured cycling gear soon!!! for myself and my nephew Tom, who will be doing the ride and hopefully, climbs with me. Won't you Tom!
