Back in Alpe D'huez.
After the 16 hours drive in a broken van just did a couple of runs. Quite hot out. Touching 30s but OK. Dry and dusty. Bike feels good so far

With Henry up to lake which wasn't the lake. Just a couple of ponds. Will make it up to lac blanc sometime this week. Blowin' out me arse. Calf still ain't right despite ticking recovered box. Will strengthen it. Know what to do. Just pain in ass

shoes: Columbia/Montrail Caldorado II

Lowestoft sea front. Forgot puffer so was wheezy.
Ate too much during the day. For some reason I have to make myself big fat lunches when I go offshore. Like I might be Stranded at sea or something.
Calf tweaked again. Stopped pronto and walked back

Fettling with the new bikes shocks. Can't bring myself to run just now. Kept this ride honest. Legs shot by the end. Bike is so much fun!

Saturday Jun 22, 2019 #

Bouldering 1:00:00 [3]

Depot with the kids. Still tentative with the sore back but needn't have been. Sent a couple of the black V3-V4s by the end. And did half the traverse wall upstairs which is promising.

Weight training 45:00 [3]

Waterlane gym. Stretching the back out. Almost 100% good.

Orienteering 21:01 [3] 2.8 mi (7:30 / mi) +51m 7:06 / mi
shoes: Salomon SLAB Sense 6

Domination sprint O from wildwood.
Short and sharp 3k course suited me fine for a tester run.
Tentatively ditched the compressport on the calf and chanced the SLABs. Calf held up fine so I'll tick the recovered box on that one.
back is still a bit sore but movement is coming back by the day.
So very unfit. Surprised I made third behind Henry and Mike.

Father's day MTB with Henry. Back feels quite strong now. Just a bit sore and stiff. Still took it dead easy as not to tweak anything again. Not as muddy as expected despite the constant rain.

Running 2:01:37 [3] 7.42 mi (16:23 / mi) +847m 12:06 / mi

Plans afoot to gain some time on feet. Decided on a wrekin wrecker/Wrekin fell race mash up. Felt dead slow and sore back. Then it pissed it down. A bit miserable all told so sacked off the second ascent of the lump and went home for a sleep

Orienteering 23:38 [1] 2.45 mi (9:39 / mi)
shoes: Columbia/Montrail Caldorado II

Warwick uni sprint race 1.
Back still sore so hobbled into it to try and loosen up a bit. It never loosened but the calf started to get sore as well.
Quite easy nav wise but to be expected at that speed.
Course 2

2 PM

Orienteering 31:24 [1] 2.66 mi (11:48 / mi) +35m 11:20 / mi
shoes: Columbia/Montrail Caldorado II

Warwick uni sprint race 2.
A more complex map but this time even slower. Ended up walking it. Even cocked up a couple of controls. Went the long way round.

I won't be running tomorrow in the urban.
Technical term is. I am fucked.

Friday Jun 7, 2019 #

Note

Side still sore and struggle to get up after lying down.
OK when I'm up though.

Turbo trainer 20:00 [3]

Pissing down but wanted to test run the calf and back. Couldn't be bothered in the end so dusted off the turbo trainer.

Monday Jun 3, 2019 #

Note

Long drive to Lowestoft again last night so just had a lazy night in the hotel after work.
Feeling like the side was getting better but got up from lying on the bed and something went crunch. Could hardly move. Think it is cracked rib.

Sunday Jun 2, 2019 #

Note

A recovery day. Let the soreness die down a bit.

9 AM

Mountain biking 1:25:10 [3] 14.2 mi (10.0 mph) +369m
shoes: Stanton Switchback 631

Supposed to be a quick morning ride on the Chase. Crashed into a tree and bruised up my arm and side pretty bad.

6 PM

Road bike 1:07:04 [3] 18.11 mi (16.2 mph) +209m
shoes: Forme Reflex road bike

Feeling a bit sore but need to get some training on now. Can't run because of calf so road bike it is. Dusted off the cobwebs and pumped up the tyres. Not used the thing since C2C. about 9 months ago.
The old Levedale loop. Felt alright but a bit slow because of the sore back.
