Rest day not really needed but it was promised to be sunny and turned out cloudy so I was in a boo.

First decent bike in a while, and my body is quite aware of that now! Didn't cycle hard but also find it hard not to put a bit of effort in, especially on hills. New route out to the NE of the city, which was grand but didn't have much in the way of nice open roads, just the usual heavily urbanised valleys. HR was going mental for the first half an hour but settled down thereafter. Good to get it done, especially as the weather was just about perfect with only an annoying always-in-your-face wind affecting conditions.

'Bout time I got out and did some more running so headed to explore a bit of the coast between Penarth and Barry. Nice but nothing special, surprisingly muggy out though and my legs could still feel last weekends long run and the lack of running in general. Good to be out, but need to get my arse into gear.

More not-really-needed rest.

All day meeting in Birmingham, got to walk to the station and back but otherwise just consumed a lot of calories.

Last of my introductory sessions and it all got quite a bit more difficult tonight, so I'm quite full of pool water! Spent longer in the water than I probably ever have in my life, also a lot of lifting boats and climbing in (after falling out) so arms pretty tired. Fun, but not sure that it's for me.

Walked IW and HFW, pretty stiff and not wanting to do do any more.
