Training Log Archive: Dooby

Mother's Day so stayed home to make sure the 2 lads behaved themselves!

Feeling better this morning so headed out before breakfast to get some fresh air.

Weather ok for most of it but rained not too far from home. Damp for a small bit too. Not as warm as yesterday.

Some flooding on a couple of spots around Dinis, 2 sections, but not that high and not that long.

Definitely unplanned but woke up with a bit of a sniffle which lingered. So didn't want to risk it. Stayed about the same all day.

Took the lads to the parade so a bit of a workout pushing them in the buggy, threw in a few sprints too, good practice if I ever wanted to try taking up the bobsleigh.

Social club had a 'gathering' after work so went to that for an hour rather than training. The finger food was excellent, italian. The chocolate mascarpone cream was really good.

Think I got lucky as there was a yellow rain warning from 4. It was damp, but only damp, very light rain. So was grand for cycling.

Some wind early on too.

Not that busy around the park based on the weather.

Didn't quite follow the route I was thinking of doing, some deviations. With the rain I didn't fancy a climb up to Torc so did a shorter hill instead.

Also did a loop of Bluepool which i'd been thinking of for a while. Would have preferred it to be drier. Bit slippy in places.

Weather better than expected, dried up after lunch. Windy though and cooler than the weekend.

Legs a bit on the tired side starting out but improved.

Did have a lad on a bike coming against me on the same side of the road as I headed to exit the park. I've more of an issue with the fact that he was talking into his wrist than the basket on his bike.

Water high near Dinis.
