This last week has been a proper rest week for me in terms of training, though strangely I got to the end of another tough half term at work totally drained physically and mentally.
Ah well, to get back into things I rode a cyclo sportive out of Richmond. 85 miles with some really big Yorkshire Dales hills and a killer of a headwind for most of the day. Yes, day is the right word as I was in the saddle for 5.5 hours!
Feel good after the ride, rest week was a good idea.
Next week I need to fit in a couple of rides and runs and some more "brick" sessions.
A "brick" session is a combined exercise session, so I will go for a run and then immediately jump on my bike to attempt to get my legs used to the pain of transition uuuurgh.
