Permanently hungry, permanently tired. I think that sums me up for the last few weeks (and probably the next few as well) - especially after a longer bike ride. All I can assume is that I expend more energy biking than anything else, although I have always thought that biking is about half the effort of running. Anyway, suffice to say I have the appetite of a large American without being the size of one (thankfully).
Biked into work this morning, which was definitely warmer than last week, so shorts were the order of the day + a couple of cycling tops to keep the wind out. I'll ditch one top for the ride home, that's sure to make me faster.
I used my 'best bike' today, mainly because there looked to be no chance of rain, but also because I plan on using it for the race so need to get used to it - it's only slightly bigger than my old Trek but feels totally different.
I'm still looking for another saddle, and my eBay searches are concentrating on tri or TT specific models (although many of them state they are also OK for MTBs). Missed out on one by a pound at the weekend, but I have a few that are coming up over the next couple of days so I hope there is less of a market during the week.
Lincoln was surprisingly clean this morning, most of the students must have stayed indoors.
