Note

Damaged/sprained same R thumb ligaments as after Bennett's fracture, that get used to tighten cable with every other gear change. Wrapped to support and compress today.

Mountain biking 2:56:00 [3] 36.4 km (4:50 / km) +540m 4:30 / km
shoes: Anthem

Swinley with C, 2 x Red, 1 x Blue. Last Red at race pace in 61.03 despite 60s lost on heavy fall on steep section of Deer Stalker (PB by 3 mins). R thumb swollen/tender, hope it recovers for Friday.
THR around 158, 4 beats up on winter 2yrs ago. Big confidence booster for next Friday, jusr hope I have sufficient skills to get stuck into the course.

Night ride with C round Blackheath loop.
First night MTB ride. Tricky in the day, so made for a more techy ride slower ride.
So pleased to have got out after an awful day.

Mountain biking 3:01:00 [3] 35.0 km (5:10 / km) +525m 4:49 / km
shoes: Anthem

Legs not good, another stressful week. Met up with Steve K at Mychett. He tried taking me down some technical tracks and it was soon asking why I'd entered a MTB race, and that was before he saw inside the OOB race area and realised it was self built techy & steep undulating. In over my head...

Mountain biking 1:07:30 [3] 19.4 km (3:29 / km) +370m 3:11 / km
max:157 shoes: Anthem

Out to Blackheath and one loop. Intensity a 4 for 15 plus mins.
Quickest time both out back on a MTB and did 33.29 on the loop 52s quicker than PB. Still lost 35s to dog walkers & wrong turn, last time it was 45s but it was slightly drier then. Only 5s off 4 min/k. Technique not as good. Legs stronger. Benefited from easy week.

Running 5:00 [2]

Dog trot- under the weather.

Mountain biking 2:30:00 [3] 26.5 km (5:40 / km) +420m 5:15 / km
shoes: Anthem

Mytchett explore & course recce from outside the fence.
Course plays to my weaknesses, with frequent marked changes of gradient preceeded invariably by a sharp turn. Might be dismounting several times a lap. Best tactic, find a rhythm if possible early and don't fight the course, just like O.
Legless today, post-vacc & stressful week, so cut ride from 3 to 2.5 hours. Managed to eat & drink on the move,after a fashion- practice and/or camelback?

Mountain biking 1:09:00 [3] 19.3 km (3:35 / km) +361m 3:16 / km
ahr:139 max:155 shoes: Anthem

Twilight ride out to Blackheath. Created private Strava segment of a 8.33k loop 160m in 34.21, lost way in maze & one wrong turn, say 30s extra, gives me a 4min/k target. Fast ride back, THR up Halfpenny.
Short sharp pre-vacc ride & expecting a few rest days after...

Saturday Mar 6, 2021 #

Mountain biking warm up/down 2:08:00 [3] 30.9 km (4:09 / km) +560m 3:48 / km
ahr:136 shoes: Anthem

Blackheath 2 x loop. Finalised loop at 3rd attempt.
Legs got better & better, smashing two recent PBs.

Mountain biking 1:03:00 [3] 12.6 km (5:00 / km) +240m 4:34 / km
shoes: Anthem

Blackheath explore with the aim of finding a fun, reasonably technical circuit for XC race training. Some excellent, some dull & too easy. Need to link the good sections together better.

Under the weather with cold sores & swollen lymph glands, so drove there & dialled effort back a touch, whilst still getting a feel of the "course" at speed.
