Day 91-96, Salty hilly ridie goodness, Sat 01.04.17

So I have been really struggling with lack of time, energy and recovering from my cold. I have been plodding as I have for the last 5-6 weeks with a low carb food and un-enjoyable commutes and rides. With my glucose pretty my around 5.5 & 0.4.

On Thursday, with Lucy's help, I managed to get some time to myself and get a really enjoyable ride in. I had a bit more time so it didn't feel rushed, my power was still down but I had solid 110km. I massively increased my salt again, with a pint of water pre-ride. I also made a avocado, MCT, Ketone salt, lemon, yogurt smoothy. It seemed to really work, I also had about 50g of dried fruit on the ride.

After the ride I ate slow roast pork and coleslaw (twice), my ketones Friday morning were back at 1.0. My appetite felt less on Friday but I did have some wine.

Really good ride with JS, power starting to come back but still off. On the upside my in ride recovery was good. After being spent after a hard effort I could recover just off pace and then push hard again. I am very pleased with today's ride, may be not a pleased as James and his amazing bike handling skills.
