Monday, no Tuesday. Already Tuesday. And on Friday I will be in Flanders. So Friday I did the session I should have done Thursday. Felt fine. Saturday was a misty day with a cold East wind. 20 minutes warm-up, 20 minutes level 3, 10 mins level 4, 5 mins level 5, 10 level 4, 20 level 3 and 30 level 2 then slow home. Sort of Hopwood, Barnt Green, Tardebigge, Stoke Prior, Stoke Works, Hanbury, Elcocks Brook, Webheath, Tardebigge, Barnt Green, Hopwood. Difficult to keep to level 3 uphill & downhill, even harder to keep level 4 downhill, hit the hill from Stoke Works up to the road to Hanbury for level 5, so staying at level 5 was easy. Well, hard as it meant keeping my HR over 156. Sunday off to Becketts, out to Wooten Wawen, did a longish spell on the front first with Beans, then Mark Wilkes ? the guy with the goatee. Then on the main road at Binton they went to Wellesbourne, but I turned right with Mark Barfield & we went home through Bidford & Sambourne. Left Mark by Primrose Hill and went round Hopwood and through Lea End to bump up the ride. Felt tired. Felt even more tired throughout the afternoon collecting Dad & taking him back. Legs felt tired yesterday. I was going to do session then realised I left my training book in the office in Leamington. So instead I drank a tin of lager that was in the fridge and a bottle of red. Washed down with a glass of a mixture of whisky, kahula and Irish cream stuff. Ugh. Feel fine now, after breakfast & some Red Bull from the motorway services. Talked with Paul yesterday, I think he is getting overwhelmed with work at I-R, and I hope they may ask me to come back soon. I also need to go to Grimsby for 2 or three days. Ugh.
