Training Log Archive: Shep

blue loop, daylight. went out as the 5th rider for Sub Plus (jules, kez, sebba, fel and mace, in order of how many of jo's muffins they ate). my finger was pretty bloody sore, i dont think it slowed me down much but it hurt on the downhills and i never felt comfortable. never really felt strong up the hills either, and had to battle a lot of traffic. awesome fun though, really good course.

the girls got a 2nd lap in the daylight but the blokes had to ride at night, and we decided to double up so we cold get a bit more rest in between. i went out at about9.30pm and did 43.50 for the blue loop then 42.00 for the red loop. i really hit the wall descending from the top of stromlo into the finish - just got dizzy and weak and pins & needles in my arms. not sure why, i wasnt riding that hard... i was glad to get back and tag kez and eat some hot pasta...
