1st time on a tt bike

Thursday 18th, started with a 3 mile X country run, early morning runs really don't agree with me, went out nice and easy, avg pace 8.32 mins/mile, my heart rate was mental avg 160 bpm with a max of 231 which when looking at the graph lasted for about the first 12 mins of the run before settling down slightly,
With the weather looking better I thought it would be a good opportunity to go for a ride on the time trial bike, slightly scary to start with but I think should cut my times down comfortably cruising at 22-24 mph on the flat not so confident round corners yet, stopped a few times to adjust settings and for traffic lights, went round the island in 1.06, avg speed of 21 mph the worst thing about the ride was that I've waited about 6 weeks to ride the bike because of the weather, when I was half way round the ride the heavens opened with sleet, hail, rain you name it, I was in for a huge cleaning session when I got home.
then the usual Rock Estate Thursday night session, 6 mile 2 bridges run, Avg Pace 7.18 mins/mile, then a new one for the Rock Estate courtesy of Nick Esser and Bannatynes gym, a 45 min spinning session, never done this before but really good fun, a hard session with Lot's of sweat on the floor, started to get cramp towards the end.
A good day all in all, miles in the bank.

Friday 19th started with another 3 mile run, not fast just to ease the legs, before sitting in the car for 2-3 hours on the way for a weekend in London with the family, no training planned!
