Firstly I took the miles involved in the London to Paris ride into the club 10mile TT and landed a seasons best coming in a whisker under 27minutes. Around this time i also got the results of my degree and discovered all the late nights studying had been rewarded with a first class degree and subsequent permanent job at the hospital,
I then made a visit to the doctor about this persistent knee pain that keeps rearing its head.
He seemed to suggest it was patella femoral tendonitis and has referred me through to the physios and given me some super anti inflamatories with the suggestion that rest would help.
I did a bit of rest, mainly due to the fact I went to Glastonbury music festival and road bikes aren't suitable! On the subject of Glastonbury, a long standing plan came to fruition and the girlfriend has now become the fiancé!
Like I said. A couple of exciting weeks!
I did contemplate on whether to keep this blog going now that the goal of London to Paris was achieved, and think that I probably will, it gives me a good log of what I have been doing and a few people have commented that they enjoy the read.
Needless to say I need a new target. I'm not sure what that will be yet but I have been looking at some races later on in the season. I just need to decide if I should persist with middle\long distance events or try to get faster at shorter distances.
As a side project, I have signed up to participate in a university trial in the coming weeks that looks at cycling performance which offers the prospects of some good data and I will put a few posts on that process.
Oh and I also purchased a second hand hardtail mountain bike and will be exploring a bit of the downs very shortly.
New horizons await!
