Determined to improve my running so with news that Alan ran last week I wanted to keep him company this time. Also he'd very generously offered a lift in his car. Fool that I am cycling seemed a nice idea when I saw how mild and still it was this morning.
Off down the Welsh Road, overtaken by chap on a rode bike, so I peeled off at the canal and went along the tow path - beautiful. Could have done without the chain falling off a few times got there in time to greet first Sue Tawney, walking her dog, then Alan and Gareth, walking from the car. Phew, Alan's new trainers looked fast! Just time to lock up the bike, strip off tracksuit etc and it was time for the sponsor's announcements.
Blooming Well Done Gareth - 10 times T-shirt winner!!!
Start of Run - set off a bit faster as there was no Alex to keep company. Hit the hill and it hurt more, certainly not up as fast as last time. The next 3km took forever but by the finish it looked like I should have been more than 1 min faster than last time.
Couldn't fix bike but got some good advice about heating and cooling the spring to re-set it!
Roll on next week with Dave
