Was almost in tears on cycle back for Coverack today as it seemed every time I looked at my speedo I was doing 8 miles an hour. This in the context of me 'upping the pace' as I realised the 'speed' of my ride to Coverack would have seen me time barred in Norway!
On reflection part of problem may have been lack of energy due to poor fuel intake. I had had 2 energy bars, a cheese and tomato toastie and 2 cups of coffee. My coach was not impressed when I relayed this on my return.
Next time out I will have one of my water bottles with isotonic drink as the gel I had towards the end of my ride perked me up no end (before having the gel I was completely deflated - just leaning on my handle bars watching traffic go through Blackwater)
88 miles today - took me to 152 for the week. Still feel a tad disappointed with today's effort as target was 100 but hopefully a lesson learnt re fuel intake...
(Did manage to up pace overall on way back averaging, close to 13 mph, maybe!)
