Training Log Archive: FE

Could only manage a short walk and lots of icing, so messed around taking bike apart and squeezing it inside a saloon car. Too much hassle, need to buy a rack.
Drove round the Box Hill Olympic cycling circuit and couldn't keep up with one cyclist on the technical descent. Shame its ticket only, great for TV with helicopter coverage.

Went to order the Giant Defy 1 race bike this morning, Got the fitting done and luck was in, the correct frame had only just been delivered. Had goose pimples 3 hours later when I walked out complete with the bike and all the kit!. Even got an unexpected 10% discount as it was their 1st birthday.

The shop is planning to set up its own team later this year and have twice weekly rides and its only 200m from home, Wednesday after work and Saturday mornings.

A couple of minutes at moderate loading on the turbo in the shop was enough to aggravate the calf, so iced a few times.

Another bike shop visit. Three months since original injury. Hindsight is wonderful........

IOW trip for work, 4 hrs travelling, calf not great so took ibu all day.
Seems to take 48 hours for a full reaction to overdoing it, but feel nothing at the time. Frustrating!!!

Hip flexors aching from yesterday, midday calf started to tighten up. Took 400ibu.

Unplanned Spin Class, no bike available in gym so went into spinning room where class was due to begin, instructor was so helpful with getting right position on bike I stayed. Couldn't do the standing up stuff and ended up using both legs for last 15mins. Really enjoyed it.
