Cycling
(01:40: 57 / 27.04 Miles / 16.10 MPH / HRZ 2 / Cadence 80 RPM)
Originally
I had planned a ride of about 3 Hours which I hoped would get me towards the 50
miles mark.
Sadly
this didn’t emerge as we had been away for the weekend in a lovely Cottage on
the North Coast
It
was also nice to have a coffee down at Ballintoy harbour, which people
may recognise as the Harbour where Theon Greyjoy returns home in Game of
Thrones.

This
meant getting back on Sunday a bit later and also missing my longer run (90
Mins) on Saturday.
I’m
a bit disappointed to have missed the run, but I feel that my running is in a
decent place at the moment and that missing one longer run at this stage is no
big deal.
As
time wasn’t totally on my side I decided to cut the ride a bit shorter and was
joined by my Lunchtime running Buddy Brendan. It was his first ride out
for a while so we chose a relatively flat route with just a short climb at the
end to stretch the legs on.
He
was worried about being rusty but he needn’t have worried. He rode well
and I am sure in a few weeks will be dropping me!
I
had tagged on some miles before I met up with him and on the whole I’m happy
that we managed an average speed over 16 MPH and that slightly counters my
disappointment at being out for about half the time I wanted.
I
plan to make up for it this weekend.
Week 10 Summary
8
Hrs 41 Mins
Swim:
4550 MBike: 75.13 Miles
Run: 14.70 Miles
So much for having a full work of training exactly in line with my plan.
I suppose it is still a decent week and the quality of the sessions was mostly very good, but I am a bit disappointed that I missed a 90 minute run and my long bike ride was closer to two hours than the planned three hours.
I
am pleased though that I got my hill session in on the bike and it was
successful, I’m also pleased at the quality of the run sessions.
I
know I’m saying it again but hopefully this week . . . . . . .
