Easy ride around the Johnny Foxes loop with jonnyq.
Nice to get out. Took the uphills easy, but you can never go too slow or it just gets tougher.
Pretty chilled all round.

Was trying to go sub 45, and had to keep up a consistent effort.
Good to shneak in under.

Hillreps.
Short warm up out to Kilmashogue Lane.
Then started the hillrep at Columba's, and went up to the car park for Kilmashogue. 5 reps, easy pedal down recovery.
Times: 3:47, 4:09, 4:12, 4:16, 4:13.
Really tough climb, particularly at the end. Don't think my bike really has a low enough gear for the really steep hills, and it's an awkward battle putting all my weight down on each pedal.
Happy with the session. Killer.

MTBO 1:13:21 [3]
Curragh MTBO
Pretty solid race, lost 3mins sellotaping my map to my makeshift map board. Not ideal, but I knew it was coming, so just had to take it on the chin.
Couple of poor routes too I think, didn't need to go wide to 4, went around on 3 unintentionally, but got to plan ahead too.
Generally pretty good, not the best technically on a mountain bike, so I took some more around routes and used it to try and spike controls.

Home - Laurence's - Enniskerry - Roundwood - Sally gap - Glendoo - Home.
Long cycle with lorrieq.
Strong enough, quads got a little tired in the latter stages, but not too bad. Laurence was keeping up well on the heavier bike, only started to slip back a little on the climbs near the end.
Gorgeous day for the cycle. Nice to now know the route too, and hopefully I'll get to do it again. Some tough climbs, but actually a bit less hilly than I anticipated.

Solid improvement. Feels much better, but still not back to running.
I'd say after next Monday's appointment I will be back to running. But I've had to drop out of the Mournes because of it.

71km on the bike yesterday was a nice return. Double sessions - it's nice to be back.

Cycle out to Ardgillan.
Woke a little late, but leaving at 11:30 or so, I thought that I would be there around 13:20 or 13:30 (expecting the route to take about 1hr40).
As I got into Lusk I hit all the diversion signs, but chanced my arm anyway as I didn't know any around route off my head. No luck, had to head back and try find some way around, which probably added 20mins or so to the cycle.
Gorgeous day out, and thoroughly enjoyed the cycle, with just a bowl of Special K in my stomach I ran out of energy with about a kilometre to go, but I had my apple upon arrival, and then and all good.

Did the Johnny Fox's loop with CillinC, jonnyq and lorrieq.
Went for it on the Pine Forest ascent, quads hurting, but worth it for a solid time.
Nice to be back into solid training.
Strength and Conditioning 30:00 [3]
Some stretching and other little exercises at the end too.

Leinster MTBO 1.
Good fun, felt I did some silly things. Some splits I just don't get why some people were way quicker than me. Some nice line? Maybe better at cycling x-country. Did they go straight to number 2? I don't know.
Some crazy downhills I wouldn't have gone down if I hadn't been in a MTBO race.
Went alright. 3rd, 11mins down on Conor.

Nice cycle with jonnyq out in the hills. Out to Crone via Enniskerry, picnic and wander, and then back via Glendoo.
Easy pace, but some tough-ish climbs, Jonny's bike outweighed mine by a good bit.
Nice to leave the house, and put an end to my horrendous sleeping pattern.
