Friday was Bikram Yoga at 7.15pm - had the best class i've ever done which i take as a good omen - my flexibility particularly in the hamstrings was better than ever which surprised me given the cycling work of late. ta day off given saturday was going to be anything but. 8am rise then cycle 8 miles to teh rugby club for training @ 9am. after a couple of minutes warm up I go as hard as possible - which is always tiring as its into head wind all the way. Training is brutal - 1 hour non stop - 30 guys crammed into the gym all throwing weights about. Really good atmosphere and a break from the norm of clapham junction fitness first. Then 10.15 to 11.30 is fitness and skills - again very competitive and hard work but the benefits are being felt - everyone looks in good condition leadin into the season. The trade off at the minute is i need to continue adding size ready for rugby, but am slightly reluctant to increase the weight i am taking on LeJog. Its then the return cycle home, stopping at the gym for 40 mins further weights and home. a good 4 hours excercise all in. Went to a friends engagement party where i met someone whom randomly said they were setting off on their LeJog this Monday - we shared stories and planned to stay in touch en route - again the subject of shorts came up and he without flinching told me of the £100+ he had spent...........
Sunday - well after undoing all the hard work of yesterday by drinking last night..........i managed to get on the bike for a good 3 hour spin with Andy. Very hot day again and slightly dehydrated to say the least. Got home and bought some Assos CYcling shorts @ £115 - money well spent i've told myself. Final weekend activity to buy some Zipvit energy bars and we're there.
