A mixed weekend; the passing of Steff left me feeling a bit lost.
But it was also Josh's 7th birthday on Sunday, with a party in Milton Keynes Xscape climbing zone on Saturday afternoon. Good to see everybody again and an enjoyable time, but I did feel guilty for being happy.
This left me Saturday morning for a bit of training. Managed to drag myself out of bed before dawn (actually about 8:15am !) and got ready to go. Tried my new gloves out. Daylight didn't seem to arrive, and I set off into the gloom at about 9am. Very cold, and after about 15minutes it was obvious that the new gloves were not very warm. Went home and swapped back to the el'cheepo Aldi ones !
A nice run down towards Walton / Bruntingthorpe and back for a total of 40 miles. Felt OK at the end, and could probably have done a few more miles if time had allowed.
Bike compuer was a bit wierd, indicated speed jumping around and often 3x actual values. Need to investigate.
Tried the tube of Cliff Bar shot Blocks . Really nice. Had been lying around in the cupboard since Jo's Marathon, so were well past their sell-by date. :o/ but seemed to do the job. One cube every 20 minutes, and then bites of a zipvit bar for the last hour.
