Slacking

Not a lot of blogging recently - but fortunately that doesn't betray a (complete) lack of training.

What happened, you see, is that we did the Coast to Coast Reivers route with Louise, Helen's sister - 170 miles from Tynemouth to Whitehaven.  The night before, I tried to get the route into my Forerunner, by inputting it into BikeRouteToaster.  To cut a very long story short, I eventually got the route entered at 1 in the morning, then the web site crashed and lost all my work.  I then traced the route on a physical map instead, on the grounds that paper doesn't crash.

This was the start of my fall out with electronic training aids, and without stats, what's the point of posting?  Suffice it to say that since last time I've done...

  • Two midweek runs with the Edinburgh Road Club
  • One Saturday run with the above (hilly route, got dropped!)
  • Much of the C2C route, supporting Helen and Louise
  • 96 hilly miles; Arisaig to Polloch and back
  • 84 fairly hilly miles; Arisaig to nearly Kilchoan and back
  • And probably some other stuff I've forgotten.
Sadly, none of the above counts, 'cos I've got no stats.

Plan now is a short ride tomorrow, then a big ride at the weekend, then (gulp) the Fred Whitton next weekend.  I'm not feeling prepared!
