Day 38, New boots

I was pretty busy last night and I went to bed later than I would have liked too but today I am on lates so I don't start work until lunch time. I woke up again in the middle of the night a little later than usual, I presume as I went to be later. I was awake for some time but I did manage to get a bit more sleep before getting up.

I had arranged to go for a ride with JamesM and looking at my app there was rain predicted but the morning so far looked quite nice. By the time I got to James's my breakfast was no settling and I was cursing my clothes choice. I quickly removed the 2nd base layer and we headed off and soon after my tummy settled.
James has not been riding much so the pace was pretty easy with the exception of the odd strong gusts of head wind. The traffic was pretty busy, it was hard to ride next to each other and chat, so we just rode sensibly.
The rain did start lightly at first but with my new boots and full length bib I was pretty toasty, actually more comfortable than before the rain. As we headed back towards London the wind and rain picked up, by this time I was certainly in the flow and it really didn't bother me. It was the kind of day if you looked out the window you would not want to go out, but with the exception of the wrong gloves I was pretty comfortable.

By the time I rode back through Kingston, heading up to London, I had done over 3 hours, yes the pace had been easy but I felt much much better than the last 3 or 4 times I tried this. I really enjoyed the easier pace and feel my body s starting to function more normally in this ketogenic state.

I popped into the chrio as my neck has cricked again but unfortunately it did not help much, but putting my soaking wet kit back on for the last 30mins was no pleasant. Job done, 100k easy pace but really felt good afterwards and was really looking forward to my lunch, so I had 2 of them :-).

My new boots were good, my feet were not dry as water runs down your leg or clothing into the sock or boot. That said I was much more comfortable than I would have been in my shoes. I was pretty hungry today but I ate my food in a silly order which left me with food in the fridge but I could not leave the desk to go and get it.
