Having struggled through yesterday, there was a degree of trepidation about today’s effort, a 30k plus cycle. That unease was misplaced however. After a couple of kilometres any heaviness in my legs disappeared and, in spite of the wind in my face, the cycling became a breeze (if you’ll pardon the pun!). Even as I got to the end of my loop I was beginning to think about going further but, based on yesterday’s tiredness I decided to just stick to the program.
As someone said to me last weekend, if Ireland was a sunny country, the entire country would be as fit as the proverbial butcher’s dog. I lost count of the amount of people, of all ages, shapes and sizes who were out doing some form of exercise along the coast in Clontarf. It was just plain extraordinary. It was, I can say without fear of contradicting myself, the first day that I have been out there that there was a real danger of overcrowding on the cycle path that runs along by the sea. Long may this weather continue!
Swimimng tomorrow, first session of the week, already looking forward to it.
