Last weekend during the Worthing 10k I picked up a bit of a niggle in my right quad, nothing too serious it just felt like someone had rather meanly given me a dead leg. I made things a little bit worse because the following day was the last nice weather day and I made the most of it by going for a longish run in the sun. Since then I have been keen to give my leg some rest, and also since then it has been raining. The rain/dead-leg combo has proved to be the perfect excuse for me to mostly play the Playstation.
I did take delivery of a set of clip on aero bars for my bike this week. I have been contemplating them for a while but have hesitated because my bike isn’t a TT bike so they might look a bit out of place, and they are banned for the sportives I enjoy. Talking to a few people over the last few months, and reading bits and pieces online, I persuaded myself to get some as they do offer an alternative riding position and in theory will give me some more speed. I have yet to take the bike out for a spin with them, but soon…
The weekend, usually a bastion of exercise for me was this week spent in Manchester to celebrate a friends 40th. So for the best part of those two days I was either driving, drinking, or sleeping. By the time I got home on Sunday I was quite jaded and didn’t really want to do anything. I did manage to pluck up enough enthusiasm to sort out my less than byzantine kayak storage system though. Two of my boats have been blocking the side alley for ages so I bungeed them to the fence. To complete this marvel of engineering I have essentially stapled a tarpaulin over the lot to offer protection from the worst of the weather. I don’t think it win any awards for style but it is an improvement on where the boats were previously.
