AJ Session: 12x2’ (45”)

This was a fairly grim one, but an easy way to get the blood pumping. Not much to report, spangled by the end as usual.

Easy hour ride

23.9km (24.9kph)

Round the lanes. Windy and cold, but not too bad on the whole. Corsa driver threw up the finger completely unprovoked. He was probs just a bit frustrated because he was late to the primary school.

Cycle to Great Somerford

50.4km (25.1kph)

First ride from home in a while. Not quite as hilly as Cornwall but still fairly rolling. Tried to keep things as chill as possible on the hills so just banged it in the small ring and spun it out like a little beta.

Fucked it. Had an exam which took a lot longer than expected so missed all the aquajogging sessions. Feeling sacrum today so probs a bit of a blessing is disguise.

Easy spin round Pendennis Point

20.9km (22.8kph)

Last day in Cornwall. Took this nice and chill. Very similar to seat laps with a decent climb and decent every lap. Really cold out, feet got chilly. Didn't do much because was planning on aquajogging later but now looks like pool will be too crowded. Bit annoying but hey ho.

Spin round Falmouth

35.5km (22.7kph)

Another stupidly hilly ride. Weather was all over the gaff (40mph winds) which was ok for the first hour because only got briefly soaked. After an hour the heavens opened and I started to get properly cold so had to cut the ride short from the planned 2 hours. Can’t say I enjoyed the latter half of that but still grateful to be getting out.

Cycle from Truro to Holywell

20.6km (20.7kph)

Finally got the green light to start cycling. Been told to keep it very chill so ideally looking for a flat route. Unfortunately, Cornwall has no flat, just constant rolling hills. I ended up picking an especially hilly route. Just banged it in the small ring and kept things as chill as possible on the climbs. Really nice to be outside again and got nothing from the Sacrum so reckon I'm good to go with the cycling.

AJ Session: 20x1' (30'')

Nothing special. First half was solid but then got chatting to a fellow slow lane user. Quite interesting chat so meant mind got taken off the session a little bit. More of a steady effort in the second half. All solid work though.
