63.4km 653m 26.7km/h
Good fun being back on the road bike, however the wind, rain and mud did it's best to ruin the ride. Was riding really safe as the mud was like ice on a couple of the lanes and i didn't want another puncture. My route was mainly flat and on slightly larger roads which lead to a couple of close calls with cars taking no prisoners. Towards the end had planned to do an extra loop to bring the ride up to 70km but on a descent a gust of wind almost made me crash so cut my losses and headed home.

Shin still feeling better but after my ride today decided I need some more time off running. Fixed my puncture so can hopefully go on a longer spin tomorrow. Thinking about not running for another 7 days so that I can do some solid training at the BOF camp.
11 AM
Cycling (MTB) 1:30:00 [1]
Out from 11 till 2 but only about half was actually worth calling training. Good fun, sent some solid jumps but holding back a bit as I'm only just coming out of an injury.

(rest day)
Injury feels better, got only one lesson tomorrow so going mtb for a few hours and hopefully get solid amount laps in at Harpford. Might try and extend the ride there and back so it's more beneficial. Also not going to run till Sunday to extend my rest to 10 days of no running.

Broke my bike but fixed it when I got home so hopefully can still go on my ride.
Rolling/Stretching 25:00 [1]
Really starting to feel recovered, cough and headaches have gone and the infamous left shin feeling better. Swimming tomorrow which should be fun and then probably a rest before I try and run on Friday.

(injured)
19.1km 590m 20.0km/h
Was going well on some really steep climbs each averaging a gradient of above 15% then at the top of the fourth climb realized that the air had slowly drained out. I think I got the puncture from all the hedge trimmings that were spread across the road which felt like riding through nails.
However my injury is really starting to clear up so hopefully this is one of the last injury rehab rides I'll be doing.

Chineway KOM effort no.1 - 9:14 (not the actual KOM as the tour of Britain goes over it)
Was going well until I hit traffic lights at the mid point of the climb (just before the dip) luckily was only held up for like 2 seconds as they went green as soon as I stopped but meant I had to slow down for them then build up speed again. Using this climb as a base to measure improvement. Hopefully can knock off 10 seconds by the end off the week. Also died on the way home fighting a massive head wind on the old A 30.
