Circadian rhythms.

You'll feel better soon

Our CCC event was very interesting. I had low personal expectations being so heavy legged from the gym and had a very late tea just before the event. First two sprints I was very sluggish, couldn't get the legs to spin. 3rd sprint I came alive and sailed through a thousand Watts. I then was able to muster a fair sprint for the others. I then had something left for Libby hill with near personal best.

Legs are still sore today

Only one week to ZRL

Your sprint and recovery last night was very impressive ... you attacked every sprint.

I was dead after the 2nd sprint. Realised afterwards I was very dehydrated which probably was a factor. I drank a litre of water during the ride which is unlike me, and still couldn't quench the thirst, really dry mouth and stinking headache. I thought i'd drank enough during the day, but clearly not ... need to make sure I hydrate better for next week else I won't make it up the blinkin KoM

He looked a mess, blood pouring from him.

This slightly eases pressure on Evenepoel, but Mas is still strong

I’m pretty out of shape to be honest. Not feeling very strong and the cardio isn’t really there either. Last night wasn’t really a good marker though as I had a pretty long day at work so I was just tired generally. I’m feeling fairly philosophical though. I’ve not been training much so I can’t grumble. Hopefully that changes as the season goes on. And at least it means it’s unlikely I get promoted next week in the first race.

@nridgy is flying though! Or at least raring yo take off! I didn’t realise how well you’d done Paul until I just read your report. Seems like you’ve mastered Libby hill mate.

Thanks mate - yes Libby Hill is now definitely my favourite! Suits my strengths somehow - and yeah I think I've sussed the best way to attack it too. I did feel the after effects pretty badly on those next two climbs which come very quickly afterwards though!

Devastated for him. Hard to see mas rolling the dice enough but he has looked stronger than I thought he was so hopefully he can apply some pressure

I ordered some/lot cycling clothes for fall and spring weather. Need to do that because I was shocked how much my older clothes are shrink in a laundry machine, amazing what happens these days .

It can't be, I refuse to believe that . I want quote Hercule Poirot when he meet his Taylor and new suite didn't fit what was made with old measures that I am same measures as use to be but maybe there is something (watching myself from the mirror) .
