Pilates/yoga 20:00 [1]

Had cramp again last night in injured calf, sore today, will restart supplements and add salt to food. 15 mins US.
12 PM

Cycling 50:00 [1] 7.0 mi (7:09 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

Ride out with C to Staples Lane to watch the O womens race, access to the lane was closed an hour before they were due through (only 15 mins earlier). Bumped into a group from CCC & WM. C turned to me as they whirred by three feet in front of us, " is that it?". The highlight was riding back, C overtook every parent/child and even took a few adults on the hills.
5 PM

Cycling 30:00 [1] 4.65 mi (6:27 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

3 laps of Stoke Park with C. 2 laps (2.3 miles) at 11 mph, 50% faster than 3 weeks ago. Second time today started in pouring rain and finished in the sunshine.
6 PM

Cycling 20:30 [3] 5.6 mi (3:40 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

Cycling 3:15:00 [3] 50.5 mi (3:52 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

Rode out to Seale and found the WM Olympic ride had left 10 mins earlier than planned last week, Tiny (very pissed off to be missing the ride) was just leaving and handed me a map of the route. Eventually caught up with the group near W Horsley 20 mins before the Peloton flew past. Next leg consisted of 40 plus riders heading east towards Leatherhead as the spectators were released. Two cars were intent on killing themselves and seemed to think that they could drive astride double white lines and bully the cyclists off the road, instead they ended up having their roofs banged! Saw a few laps on the A24 near a pub and then headed to the Big Screen at Denbies.

Great day out, brilliant atmosphere, certainly my best day of spectating. Shame about the result.

Cycling 18:00 [2] 5.1 mi (3:32 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

ITW

Swimming 20:00 [2] 0.44 km (45:27 / km)

May have made a breakthrough on swimming. Did usual 40m then rest 30s and same difficulties (can't do crawl), was going get out, but decided to just do a few more lengths to round up to 400m and switched off, relaxed and realised I was breathing OK and also found hand shape had changed and seemed more efficient in pulling the water.

Can't wait to see if I can replicate this again, without getting tired and frustrated first!
C • Pull buoy 2

Cycling 50:00 [3] 14.0 mi (3:34 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

HFW - Burpham - Send HMP - farm track to Ripley Lane - W Horsley - home
Went to check out alternative route for Boxhill club ride, just as well as ended up cycling down concrete farm road/bridleway for 3k thinking it was the correct shortcut route and ended up having to bunny hop over increasingly larger potholes. The locals in picture postcard period properties on Ripley Lane were busy putting out Union Jack bunting, should look great on TV.

Cycling race 29:31 [5] 10.0 mi (2:57 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

10 mile TT - CCC Normandy - 29.31 PB for course, 20th from 24.
Paced it well and on top the gears most of the time. Satisfied.
27.5 degrees, hot but more than compensated for by light wind. No time lost to traffic.

Cycling warm up/down 16:00 [2] 4.0 mi (4:00 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

Stretching/extensions 10:00 [1]

5 each on floor and 5 each on step.

Cycling 19:00 [2] 5.4 mi (3:31 / mi)
shoes: Giant Defy 1

ITW not awake, turned off towards Woking a week before office move to Woking.

Cycling (Hilly) 1:17:00 [3] 21.9 mi (3:31 / mi) +590m 3:15 / mi
shoes: Giant Defy 1

HFW - Newlands-Whitedowns-Crocknorth-Albury
Bagged Whitedowns (18 %) sitting down. Finally found a method that works for me, let the cadence drop, do not spin, keep the legs relaxed and lean forwards. Virtually the opposite of previous technique.
