In a totally hooray for me moment... I just completed the first stage of the TdF on my training bike.
Statistics:
Distance: 17.8km
Time Allowed: 55.55
Time for Me: 50.55
Calories Burned: 396 (= 3 reward glasses of wine!)
And Mr Noble, it is not flat!! Near the end is what I now call Heartbreak Hill (not original I know but very apt)... and it was up to 4.5 degrees incline. I think even the lycra brigade would call that an actual hill!!
So in all of the time since I started training, I have now done a grand total of 131km which is almost exactly 1/3 of the distance we will by cycling on our adventure. Wow, it is often best not to compare!! I felt like I was doing great! In even more depressing news, a grand total of 7km has been on an actual bike on an actual road! But on the upside, I have done 51km this month to date. Yes, let's end on that happy statistic!
Back to the wine... it is research! I need to select the red wine for our Quizzie. Have already arranged the white, beer and bubbles. But as you know, I like to be very thorough when solving a problem and have very high quality standards... so it is important that I choose just the right one!!
