Still flushed with yesterday’s success, on a beautiful April afternoon, I decided it was time to conquer Howth head again. The right way round this time though!! A 20km cycle past Dublin Airport to Sutton cross completed my journey to the head. The 5km steady climb, while difficult, was not as bad as I expected at all. The 3km downhill probably did my brakes no favours whatsoever though, I could nearly see the pads being worn out as I descended what felt like a cliff face!! 15km along the sunny seafront back in to Clontarf was quite an enjoyable way to finish off the loop. 44km again, not too shabby.
So, time to evaluate my last ten days training. Well I seem to have a half decent base to work from anyway. While tired after my sessions I am not exhausted to the point I could not possibly exercise any more. So I reckon it may not be a bad idea to extend the distances I aim to cover. Once I reach the end of this week's program I intend to do just that.
