Well, none that were my fault, anyway. The training for this week has been as follows:
13/11 - Coached M2 and was lazy - no erg.
14/11 - M1 outing. 15k @17, feet out. 1h02:20.9
15/11 - 15k @19, feet out with Paul. 59:57.6 - Paul beat me by about 10 seconds.
16/11 - 40' on the running machine. Took a while to get used to it, but did 5.03 miles in the end. Was doing 7 minute miles at the end.
17/11 - Long M1 outing over the lock.
18/11 - Cross-country cuppers. it was a 10.1k course, and I did it in 42:36. I came 51st out of 80-odd runners, and King's 11th out of 24. Was pleased with the time - sub 7 minute mile pace.
19/11 - The Tancock Sunday Madness, Take II. Cycled to Ely and back. Took 1h05 to get there, had 5 minutes admiring the cathedral and then cycled back. Dawning realisation about 5 minutes in that the headwind wasn't going to give up for the rest of the ride. Total time (Silver Street junction to King's back gate) was 2h31:54. Total distance about 35mi/56km. I made the stupid mistake of thinking it was quite warm. Went out in t-shirt, shorts and sweatshirt and froze in that headwind on the way back!
Am feeling very tired both physically and mentally. I will drive on, much as I did this afternoon into that headwind. I will be as fit as possible for Fairbairns.
