Jetlag

We flew in on Monday morning from the "red-eye" flight. Scariest landing I've ever had, as we it was in the middle of the worst storm in a while in the UK. I seriously thought the tip of the wing was going to hit the ground first when we hit surbulence very near the ground on landing. It certainly felt like the left wheel hit the groud before the right one which is unnerving at the speed 777s land.

I went straight to the office, so was not planning to train on monday night, but to sleep instead!

The plan was to train on Tuesday and Thursday. However, because I'd been away in NY for a week, things had stacked up a bit back in London, so I got home quite late on Tuesday. Things had similarly stacked up at home too; post, messages & Race For CHASE admin to catch up on. Hence I didn't train Tuesday after all.

Finally on Wednesday I got back on the bike, albeit 'only' a turbo session, but it felt great. I only did an hour (or just under 20 miles) but it was good to start racking the miles up again.

Given we have a 100 mile training ride on Saturday, and feeling tired again on Thursday, I decided not to train. It's going to be interesting to see how my lack of training translates to a lack of performance on Saturday. I heard that many of the other riders have already clocked up their first hundred miler.
