Today was one of my 'Threshold' days, so I decided to do another time-trial lap of Richmond Park, and get some sun at the same time. After just two days of good weather, I've already developed a bit of a 'cyclist's tan' - very brown from just above the knees and elbows downwards!
I actually managed to upload my stats from the Garmin today - had a bit of a clearout of old files, and that seems to have done the trick. The headlines are that I did the lap in 21:44 (an average speed of 18.4 mph), taking about a minute and a half off my previous time. The limiting factor today was my lungs - I felt a bit coldy and wheezy, so hopefully there's still a bit of improvement in there somewhere. I also got stuck behind some cars for a while, although the drafting effect that I got from that probably offsets a bit of the time loss. I guess the target should be to get down to under 20 mins.
How was skiing mate?
