Next week (w/b 26th Jan) is rest week. Yippee. I feel tired but not too battered by the last three weeks of training. I've managed to clock up about 22.5h of low HR rowing, cycling and running and lifted more weights in the gym that I ever thought I'd care to! I don't feel that I've done too badly considering that I wasn't really training in the second half of last year, but I do feel like I am playing a game of "catch-up" and feel that I should be doing a little better than I am.

I pootled off down the road to Chichester this weekend on my bike. I managed to get "disoriented" only a couple / few times and I think that I must have added about 12 miles to the journey that I'd planned with scenic detours (total ~80mi). And I took a map. It's all about the journey though right?.... Character building you say?... Ja, fur shure....

I'm managing my expectations daily basis :-)
