OK, so my posts are getting a bit predictable at the moment, but, I have had to work hard to improve my base fitness. I have spent the last two weeks slogging away on the turbo trainer. Slogging is definitely the word to describe it, even watching the TV isn't always enough to distract you from how slowly time goes by. In the last two weeks I've spent eight and a half hours on the turbo and burned five thousand calories.
Last week was a bit of a strange one as I had to work around Kirsten's first birthday on the Saturday and my birthday on the Wednesday. Training on the Monday and Tuesday was pretty hard, due, to lack of sleep and some long days out. However, everything seems to be back on track now and endurance zone training feels much more like I could ride for a lot longer. Just need to work out how to relieve the tightness from my knees during the longer sessions.
Entries for the Maratona are now closed and we are supposed to be included, but, we haven't appeared on the participants list. Apparently, this is to be expected since we are joining through Cycling Weekly, but, it would be nice to see our names on the entry list. I need to approach the company now to see if they are willing to sponsor the team with jerseys and transport.
