It was another scorcher across the central belt this afternoon. As I hopped off the train and into the car, the temperature gauge was screamin 28 degrees. Once we were mobile it calmed down to 24.5 degrees but still deserving of a decent trip out on the Trek.
Dinner was prepared for consumption on the patio with a cool beer chaser. The diet of champions I hear you shout.
It certainly was not going to make for a personal best. To the point that the Garmin worked out there was no point in monitoring this outing and konked out after 30 minutes! The second reason was it had no juice.
There was very little wind and it was a joy soaking up the sun and scenery ascending and descending Col du Cleish before sprinting along the flats to Powmill before ascending Mont VeKnockhill. I am not sure whether there was an event on at the race course but there were plenty of boy racers on the road with dark windows and exhausts silver shiney and surplus to requirements.
The Ironman has started his Carnock training regime already. I have decided to pursue a different strategy for this years event. I am going to target the seniors class and will leave the competing to the youngsters.
Another 40km completed.
Already looking forward to the sunshine forecast for the weekend
