Cycle - 1.3 hours - 08/19/2008

My first ride in via Wimbledon and Richmond Park for about five weeks.

I wasn’t really in the mood for the ride but I need to get some good power building work in ahead of next month’s Southern Sportive.

Perhaps it was the lingering effects of Saturday night’s excesses but I just couldn’t summon the energy to go all out.

I was ok on flat ground and could sprint away from lights quite well but the hills just killed me.

It was impossible to get up to and hold 90% heart rate for any length of time so it looks like I need to get some good rest and make sure I eat and drink well over the next few days.
