It's been 5 weeks since Lanza Ironman and due to saddle sores, mechanical problems and bad weather I haven't been back on my bike. So despite being a bit tender from a great night out with friends I took advantage of a short break in the weather this morning. The sun made a rare appearance and I headed out for an hours ride to test out the bike, and myself.
All went well and it was great to be back in the saddle. My legs felt good and although I didn't feel "at one with the bike", that will come within a few rides, I enjoyed flying through the countryside taking in the fragrances from the flowers. No I haven't gone soft in the head before you suggest it, it's just when you're training and always working against the stop watch some times you don't take in the scenery and the fragrances. So I'm going to try and enjoy my surroundings while working hard. Tomorrow I'm off to Wimbledon, mixing business with pleasure but I'll pack my running shoes so I can run in a park and keep my return to fitness going.
