phew... just enjoying a nice recovery drink.

although in this case it's coffee not some nasty grim tasting protein shake, and i'm recovering from the most chocolatey pudding i've ever had rather than the usual exercise. pot au chocolat lived up to its name in an extreme ganachie sort of way..... .. .. ... think i'll go back and have that again soon!

talking of exercise which we werent, did 8mile run on saturday which was harder than it should have been and then somewhere over 50miles on the bike on sunday. this is the longest i've done for a long long time and my legs are dead, but the added excitment of some inadequate motorist giving us some verbal and then trying to knock me off made it all worth while.

the police will be paying him a visit.

and tonight i realised why i dont like the gym, one 800ml bottle was not quite enough for my sunday ride of nearly 4 hours worth, whilst in less than an hour in the gym i needed a good 600ml of my drink. way too warm and sweaty. i did a warm up on the spin bike followed by 5mins in aero type position and 5mins ramping up the resistance before hopping on the treadmill for 10mins.... and repeat!
fairly tough but hopefully helpful for my upcoming duathlon.

oh and then we went out for a superb tea.. and THE MOST CHOCOLATEY PUD EVER.
