Prepping for some cycling events in November so the mileage is a bit higher than usual
Really looking forward to the relaxing time afterwards...

Heh, heh, heh,
Got 1,997feet of climb this morning.
PR'd a segment. I keep thinking I am going to run out of room to PR.
I mean it is easy to PR when you first establish record keeping but you can't just keep going faster and faster.
So I gets to my starting point at the crack of dawn as usual. I like to be the first one up the hill so I get to see the wildlife before anyone scares it off. Alas, as I am getting put together a Jeep goes by.
But still at about minute 30 I see a deer. I like that just fine. Then at about minute 75 I see two deer right on the road in front of me. I think those guys might be habituating to me. They don't know what a mountain bike is. Maybe they think I am a cow or something. After a few moments of mutual contemplation they go bounding off.
But then at about minute 107 I see what I thought was a coyote up the road. I closed on it and yowza! Not a coyote a bobcat! I think that is the second time in my life that I ever seen one of those.
Climbing, climbing, climbing, I only got 450m (1,485feet) to go to get my Strava October climbing merit badge. Unless something weird comes up I should be able to pull that off tomorrow. Yay!2 -
Made the mistake of trying to go out for a harder mid-distance ride yesterday, without giving my body enough recovery time from Friday's sufferfest tempo ride, and felt it about 15 miles into a planned 60 mile ride. As a result, I just turned around at the 17 mile mark, headed home into a nasty headwind, and just suffered for the last hour as my mis-adjusted rubbing front right brake and headwind slowed me all the way back home.
Ended up going for an easy 20 mile recovery ride with a neighbor after a long run this morning, and I think I'll just try for a final mid-effort 55 mile ride tomorrow to get me to the megameter mark for the month (621 miles / 1000 KM), a moderate 33 mile team ride Wednesday and just lots of rest otherwise to get my legs fresh for my full Ironman next weekend. If the winds aren't too ugly Saturday, I'll aim for 21-21.5mph, and just make sure my power stays even, and my heart rate doesn't creep up too far before my run starts. If all goes well, I'll finish the flat fast bike in 5:15, and the course in 10:15. Although a sub-10 hour ironman is a bit of a badge of honor amongst teammates (although not quite as prestigious as a Kona slot), I don't think my fitness is in a place where it'll be feasible, and for my first full Ironman, I'd rather not blow up on the run as racing a marathon when already tired really sucks.
10/1 - 80 miles
10/14 - 17 miles (team ride)

I've really been hitting the recumbent with all the rain. I think I'm going to make it, just barely. :-)
The recumbent is starting to make a ticking sound on every stroke, I think the bearing is starting to wear out.

That's not a typo. That was a 600 km randonnee attempt ... but being sick so much lately meant that I haven't trained enough and just didn't have the strength to do the whole 600 km. We made it to 390 km and that was that.

No mileage or event goals this month - just simply to get as much riding in as possible. Short days and colder temperatures that affect my Raynaud's afflicted fingers and toes limits my opportunities.
Sunday 2nd - 56.9 miles
Tuesday 4th - 21.8 virtual miles, intervals on eSpinning bike
Saturday 8th - 57 miles
Sunday 9th - 36.4 miles
Running total = 172.1 miles.
Box Hill in Surrey has a couple of new signs which made me chuckle on the way to a new PR up Zig Zag Rd today.
About a third of the way up - "It's Only Gravity"
About half way up - "Shut Up Legs"
Tuesday - 22.4 virtual miles, "time trial" on WattBike Pro
Thursday - 21.8 virtual miles, 5 minutes interval training on WattBike Pro
Saturday - 51 miles having fun chasing some Strava PRs on long fast segments and hills.
Highlight!
Taking 33 seconds off my best time on the very nasty Combe Lane climb. 7% average but with a 19% lung busting finish.
http://www.wlondoncycling.co.uk/combe-lane
Running total = 267.3 miles.
Quiet cycling week this week as I was away in the Cotswolds for a few days - think I will have to return there next year with my bike as it's beautiful and the roads are so peaceful compared to my local area....
Tuesday - 21.4 virtual miles on WattBike Pro
Sunday - 45.1 miles.
Really pleased to get my first ever Strava podium on the segment nearest to home, a few days of eating full English breakfasts must have refuelled me nicely.
Running total = 333.8 miles.
Work got in the way of training/cycling this week....
Tuesday 20.9 virtual miles on eSpinning bike.
Sunday 26.5 miles just blasting round local roads before sunset (sunset @16:37 - how depressing!)

Got in a decent final 56 mile spin today, getting me over the megameter mark (1000km) for the 4th month in a row.
Felt pretty good on my ride, despite it getting a bit hot and facing steady side winds for much of the ride. Overall, I was able to average 20mph while staying about 8bpm below my target IM heart rate and 20 watts below my target IM power, which bodes well for the race once I'll be in aero gear, won't have to continuously stop/restart for traffic lights, and will do some pre-race shaving (as my legs have returned to chewbacca status). I'm still debating if I should get in a mid-intensity ride Wednesday en route up to the race (Saturday) or if I'd be better off getting extra rest. I'll play around in trainingpeaks to see what my fatigue number would be at for the race then either skip it, sit on the back the entire time, or go for it.

Surprised to find that I kept pedalling, on and off, this month, between travelling - and the weather held, and hills got easier, and I still seem to be getting better at this New Thing. Next month will be the month of the indoor bike I suspect! Fog and murk outside today.
