At todays weigh-in I came in at 13st 2.5lbs - well pleased with that! A long way from the 16st that I started out at. Thats nearly the same weight as my wifes bag when we travelled to India and I know how heavy that was to lug around! Still got some way to go to achieve my target weight of 11st 7lb though.
So glad I decided to have a day off the bike today as the weather is horrible, I learnt when I was running that rest is as important as training - knowledge that I didn't always put into practice it has to be said! I achieved all I wanted to this week. 135 miles in total including a long ride of over 4 hours and a couple of shorter sharper rides. The thought of 100 miles though is still fairly daunting but I know if I continue the progression that it will come. Next week will be a lower intensity week with some cross training on the rowing machine, gym and I may try a swim....
I launched my fund raising website this week and some people have already sponsored me, I know its a long way off but it does provide me with some real motivation.
To sponsor me for this epic ride and to motivate me on those hard training rides then you can sponsor me on my fund raising page.
