After getting in from work, I had a quick coffee before deciding to get out on my bike - it was starting to look cloudy and I didn't want to risk being caught in rain by waiting too long!
I had a route in mind, but it was a very frustrating start! The traffic going through town was slow and I seemed to hit a red light at every traffic light! Things didn't improve when I hit the country roads - potholes, tractors, elderly drivers and idiot tourists (more interested in the scenery than the roads!) all seemed to be out to get me!
I felt I was risking life and limb just being out on the road on 2 wheels! Thankfully the rain stayed away and the sun actually tried to shine although it was still fairly chilly!As I approached home I realised I was 10 minutes down on the time I was supposed to do but I decided not to push my luck by extending it! I was feeling lucky to have escaped injury free!
Hopefully, I will feel slightly more comfortable and confident next time and I can make up the extra 10 minutes!
I only managed a very slow 12.78 miles but it's better than nothing!
Amazingly after 2 swims, 2 runs and 2 cycles so far this week my body doesn't feel too bad!
Still feeling positive!
Bring it on!
