Cycled 61km
Averaged 31km/h
Heart rate 138 average, 163 maximum (previous day was about 142 average).
Route: Kimberley then N1 to Shell Ultra City at Eufees Road.
Had a slow puncture coming back in.
Legs felt stiff but had a good ride with CJ. Want to do a spin class with him soon.
This morning (20th) I got up at 5:45am to go for a cycle with Mauritz. He went to World Champs in Hawaii in October. My slow puncture from yesterday finally deflated at about 13km (despite being pumped and staying hard overnight) so tried to change the tube but couldn't get the tyre over the Spinergy rim. How embarassing! So CJ had to come fetch me in his Merc and the other guys turned round because a storm was coming.
Tammy gave me a call just after I'd packed the bike in the car and it started to rain. Weird morning.
Mauritz says it's Free State Champs this weekend (1.5km swim, 40km cycle, 10km run) so I must do that to assess my fitness and to test my achilles. There's also a 100km cycle race on Saturday which I need to do, to get some distance in this week.
Let's see how it goes...
