Day 5 Not much sleep, 2016 Achievments

Glucose 4.3
Ketone 2.6

Tomtom had some nightmares last night so was in our bed by 1, after that my night was pretty much a write off, I only got 2-3 hours sleep. My plan for a ride today went out the window. Bit of a shame on several counts, I wanted to check that my ride today was not as hard as yesterday's and I wanted to get into a carb deficit so I could enjoy my New Year celebrations with more confidence.

Matt came to visit from Abu Dhabi, it was very kind of him to come during his few hours off. After seeing the girls we went to the http://www.grey-horse.co.uk/ and had some amazing ribs and slaw, probably too much meat for me, but so delicious. From then we visited several friends drinking and enjoying the evening continuing home in the same vein. It is nice to relax and enjoy myself but I am sure it is going to mess with my adaptation, at least I started almost a week ago.


2016 has been a year of great sporting achievement in our family.

Lucy, who not that many years ago never ran.She smashed the London marathon in 5.00.01 with amazingly consistent splits.
Thomasina aged 4 ran the sport relief mile in 10 minutes
Emilia perfected her cartwheels and almost her hand stands

2016 has been my most productive year as I have not spent excessive time off the bike due to injury, recovery or illness. I have spent most of the year on the road but I am missing MTB and I would like to spend more of my bike time on the trails for 2017.

Here are my times and PBs for 2016.
