Busy day back at work – a few lessons to prep and take thus missing opportunity to train. Accepted it would have to be an evening session, damn I hate training at night.
After dinner and cleaning up I sat and watched a Bradley Wiggins documentary – plenty of inspiration but really wanted to lay on the sofa and do nothing.
Got the littlen’ to bed then trudged out in the rain into the dark damp garage and looked at setting the place alight with a half decent erg session. Had a mouse for company who ran out into the rain and then thought otherwise and came back in.
Warmed up with the usual 5km piece with bursts, HR unusually high – oh well best get on with this, at least it is short and over with quick.
A bit apprehensive going into it after locking up on the same session in the last 2 sets on Sunday. Wanted consistency and targeted 1.28 ish and see how it went into the last 2.
Tried to keep at least the first 4 on the legs and then accept that arms would have to work in the final stages.

Looking forward to building some power and strength back on the weights spring next year after the Worlds before we look to build the engine on top. The other side of 100kg is the target – that should improve these power sessions.
