Feel proper tired this morning, legs a bit stiff from last nights intervals. Maybe I'm not getting enough calories in. Resting heart rate was highest for a while.

07:00am - Workout - 1Hr 20Min EM - 37Km

Brighton > Crawley Commute

Endurance miles commute to work on the Trek. Was a tough ride, really felt it this morning. Saddle not quite as bad as on the trainer but still far far from perfect. Didn't feel particularily comfortable at any point, just wanted to get it over with. Could just be tired.

27.6kmh / 17.1mph Ave speed

Heart Rate Ave 146 / Max 165

06:00pm - Workout - 1Hr 20Min EM - 41Km

Crawley > Brighton Commute

Through frustration altered the position again. Matched it back to the setup from the last good turbo session, angled the saddle nose down slightly and to the left slightly. Definate improvement on the ride, not much discomfort. Will have to do a proper test after being off the bike a 4-5 days. After Poland.

Came home via A23 cyclepath, then up through the Withdean estate (good climb) and back down Dyke Road. Was flying for nearly all the ride, totally different to this mornings slog.

29.5kmh / 18.3mph Ave speed

Heart Rate Ave 149 / Max 165

Not more saddle trouble Alan - could a new pair of shorts help? I'm well pleased with my new Campag ones...
