For the first time ever I commute to work in Lancaster by car. I had no choice as I was in court interviewing for the day. So today was full day's work. Nothing to say about that. I came back home by 17:30 chopped a few vegetables for the chili con carne I had in mind. I swapped the wheels and pedals to the better bike, ancelled the milk delivery until early September. I looked at the clock and abandonned the cooking to get ready for the last time trial of the year at the Salt Ayre time cycle track. I arrived with 30' spare to sign in warm up and drink well before the start. There was good mix of experienced time trialists, adults and youngsters.
I started first on the track. No idea whether it's an advantage or a disadvantage. The ride was hard and the legs felt heavy, big boggies / bodily fluids escaping along the way. About 5 miles in I was feeling so rough that the thought of packing came running through my head. I kept pushing on and eventually got it over and done with.
26'47s. 25s improvement over the first 10miles Time Trial.
Came back home relieved at slow steady pace and finished cooking the chilli:
News from Japan: It's hot and great food, time diference is less of an issue and they are having a great time. Japanese is progressing well too. No. not mine... I am hopeless ;--)
