I was awake early this morning, perhaps due to the daunting challenge I have set myself… more likely because my alarm went off and the roll over go back to sleep function didn’t work.
Last week I found I couldn’t eat enough and had massive sugar cravings… not even the bottle of soft drink I ‘stole’ from my ever so kind flat mate (which I basically inhaled)… did enough to stem the hunger. This has really highlighted to me how much nutrition is going to play a part in hitting this goal.
Back on the bike this morning after a forced weekend rest due to a broken spoke on the way home last Thursday. Fixed now thanks to the guys down at Favourite Cyclesin Manly. Great job… and they managed to fit it in despite being caught the Christmas Rush. Thanks!
The ride into work this morning felt pretty good despite being a little tired from the 10km jog yesterday (which I managed to get a little bit sun burnt on). The ride took 17.5km which took 51mins (thanks to my trusty Garmin GPS). I am looking to see this time come down over the coming weeks.
It just started to sprinkle rain as I started home across the harbour bridge this afternoon. Luckily it held out, although the light sprinkling was nice an cool. There is nothing worse than riding in the rain, poor visibility makes it harder for you to see and for cars to see you and slick tyres don’t make it any more fun in the wet. I just made it home before the skies opened up and it felt like a small ocean came down.
I will try and get some pic’s and other things up in the next couple of days.
