Note
(rest day)

Started on a 2.5 hr run but R calf was very tight so binned it. A rest day isn't so bad after yesterday and fortunately I feel refreshed already.

7 AM

Bike long 4:52:42 [3] 89.59 mi (3:16 / mi) +916m 3:10 / mi
ahr:144 max:169 shoes: Planet X

Out the door early and into a headwind for the first 2 hours to Aldershot. Then onto Elstead where I finally got a tailwind and onto the Surrey Hills.
Went up Whitedowns, Boxhill, Ranmore again and then onto Holmbury for lunch. Legs were good today and always felt strong.
I have noticed that my HR has gone down over the past few weeks and is about 5 less on all the steep climbs. I have also started to have the first signs of a cold today but I don't think this is linked.
I thinks anything in the 140's will be fine for Henley with a few spikes on the steep hill from Watlington.

ahr:174 max:182 shoes: Salomon speed cross 3

Shattered from the off so I was never really able to attack it. Saying that, I was able to be pretty accurate except for taking the wrong path halfway to #5 and ended going past 18 and 6 first.
I thought it was a well planned course on a potentially tricky area. The results could make interesting reading...
Distance ran was 6.22km.

10 AM

Bike 2:53:16 [3] 50.27 mi (3:27 / mi) +685m 3:18 / mi
ahr:144 max:167

From Newlands, Peaslake, Holmbury, Dorking, Brockham, Bullbuster loop, Ranmore, Horsley, Send and finish.
Tried to keep this in IM terrain as much as possible (a decent hill every so often). Got to Peaslake and started up the Radnor rd when my chain went over the end of the cassette. Basically my wheel had just come from a mechanic who has not made it true after putting in a new spoke, this led to the gears out of line. The hanger was bent but fortunately a local workman had a club hammer to straighten it after I removed it from the bike. SWEET.
Ride was ok and just got through it really.

1 PM

Transition run 30:00 [3] 4.46 mi (6:44 / mi)
ahr:163 max:169 shoes: Asics Culumus 14

Only did 30 of the planned 60 to help protect my R calf. It seems to be getting better.

Swimming long 1:05:00 [3] 3.8 km (17:06 / km)

Mytchett
Time and distance is a bit of a guess. I forgot to take my watch with me and as the 1 km loop had lots of weeds, it was slightly shortened.
Did 4 laps and the recent rain had cooled the water nicely.

2 PM

running 43:56 [3] 6.59 mi (6:40 / mi)
ahr:156 max:168 shoes: Asics Culumus 14

Along the river and back through Barnes. Legs were a bit awkward to start with but finished relaxed.
