Tale of the Tape

To start with, I apologise for the lack of updates over the last few days. To be honest, that's because I haven't been on the bike since last Tuesday, because the slight wheeziness that I mentioned from my TT lap of Richmond Park eventually turned into a full-blown.....cold.

Sounds ridiculous I know, because it's never been very bad, but there have been enough aches, pains and - most importantly - coughing, to keep me off the bike. It's quite disheartening, because I've got to do the Hampshire Hilly Hundred in under a fortnight, and I was hoping to get some really good training in towards the back end of last week. But anyway, no use crying over spilt milk - just now trying to get myself feeling better so I can do some useful training on Wed/Thur, and then hopefully get some good miles in early next week.

Anyway, as ever, Monday is weights and measures day - so here they are:

Weight: 11 stone 4.4 pounds (down a pound and a halfish)

Body Fat: 18.5% (about the same)

Visceral Fat Rating: 6

Basal Metabolic Rate: 7107kJ / 1699kCal

Muscle Mass: 8 stone 11 pounds

Water: 56.5%

Glad I've continued losing weight at the optimum rate, despite being ill and not training. Everything else pretty much as it should be I think. Still aiming to be down to ten and a half stone by the time of the Etape, and still on schedule for that.
