Training Log Archive: Ifor

Not well last night stomach very bloated feeling, wish I would be sick but was not. bit better this morning but still queasy, not going to be doing much....

Day under a quilt infront of the box then in bed. Managed to get a banana down now though so slightly better. Dad aparently bad as well and Nick was before.

Event: Military challenge
 

Started OK but pedel started grinding after 5 or 6 controls and was bust by 11. went back close to the van so decided to swap bikes there to Scale from Blur. Lost about 3 mins here, having to re-adjust map holder clamps was the slow bit. Pleased to get route to 1st control on second map good. Messed up long 10 leg loosing another 3 mins to Al. Took bit of main road to 12 but got caught by traffic lights. Slightly off the right path to 20 as the rain started but quickly knew where I was. 3rd map was far shorter than I expected, was expecting a full map full but just 6 controls to finish. Mistake on 2nd of them but not too bad. Went left to last one around fenc but not realy sure where I was for most of the route....

3rd 4 mins off Al and 3 of Alan. Pedel and stupid error costly. HR not as high as it should be but going better then expected considering the saw throat I woke up with.

Plot. No speed after bike change.

Some quirks in the graph altitude wise which I will put down to having the phone rather too well sealed in a plastic bag and leading to some quirky presure pulses as the air in the bag gets squashed and the altitude looks to fall.... need to sort out the arm strap...

Event: Devils Chair Dash
 

Devils chair Dash. 40th place behind Andy Clough. Only realy good bit was the last 3-400m on the tarmac where I killed myself to get infront of the woman in front of me. 31 years since I first did it, when I was 1st boy in 17th, not sure of the time though, probobly quicker than now.
