Awesome week this week.  Every session I felt strong and was enjoying every minute.  A minor hiccup with swimming (lanes were always ridiculously busy), but more than made up for that with commuting in to Uni 4 times on the bike and getting a very solid race pace brick session in.  I don't think this is the sort of volume I can maintain, so will be toning it down a little, but it's nice to be feeling the benefit of the winter's training so far.  On Saturday, the weather here in South London was absolutely glorious and I couldn't resist a bike ride.  I'd been hearing from clubmates about the Hell of the Ashdown sportive and I thought I'd go out and do the short version of the route.  It seemed like such a good idea at the time, but 70miles of hard hills by yourself is pretty tough!  It's all good miles though and I felt strong which was great.

Next week, now that it's a bit warmer, I'm planning on getting out on my tri bike.  I'd also like to build on my rediscovered love of the turbo.

Saturday's ride out to the Hell of the Ashdown route was quite muddy.....
