Slept well for the first half of the night then from 03.00 I had really weird dreams about being shaky, when I got up I was actually really shaky, don't know why. I wouldn't have gone for a ride if I hadn't plans with JamesS.
Glucose 5.2
Ketone 4.8
Breakfast Pre-ride coffee & butter, post ride yogurt MCT almond butter seeds, sausage
Lunch Chicken wings and coleslaw
Dinner Meat cheese, veg, wine coffee
Ride 60k drafting JamesS, found it hard, power meter not working
We left early, 05.45 and James wasted no time in putting the hammer down, after trying to chat for about 30sec I slipped back and drafted him. I pretty much wanted the ride to stop from the end of my road. But drafting I hung on, psychologically it was all I could mange but equally it was manageable, I knew it was doing me some good. There were some point I had to dig deep, if I lost concentration for a few seconds I would be 2-3 bike lengths back and have to work hard to get back on his wheel. I was glad to get round the half way point and head home and even happier to make it home.
I definitely feel 20% down on James, the last 2-3 weeks has not been good for my training, a cold and then getting back in the bike. Prior to that I felt I was getting close to James, still behind but not by 20%. Clearly I have regressed but he has also managed to get some good training in. At least I went out and got some good miles in, I could easily have opted out.
I was pretty tired post ride ans feel asleep at the girls watched TV about 09.30, I then had an hours sleep about 14.30.... was going out in the evening and had a double espresso to wake me up!
