My #gothedist challenge this month did not go as planned from my Welsh trip onwards really, I was not 100% the day of the ride and an ear infection soon took hold, a week later as the ear was healing I went out in what can only be described as a monsoon and I ended up with an eye infection, probably grime from the trail and or salt from sweating so much.
Sadly as you can guess I did not meet my targets this month, first time in a while but I am not upset, several factors hampered my progress and were out of the scope of my control, especially the rain.
But there is much I can take away from this month, although there were fewer rides they were quality rides from which I felt I made good progress, even my past 2 rides, although tired from the illness I found strength and growth from them, I was actually using gears higher when riding climbs.
So, what for next month you ask? well I strongly believe that,
"If you are not going forwards, you are going backwards"
So with that in mind I am going to up my miles to 200 for the month of July but drop my second modality for the challenge. I am also going to return to counting my calories using MFP again, my eating habits have become quite bad.
Well enough of all that, here is a little video of today's ride, silly here forgot to put the helmet mounting back on his helmet so this is taken from the chest strap on my pack, gives you an idea of just how much I am putting into the rides.
Well that is all for now, thanks again to everyone and those who are new to the blog, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am, if there is anything you want to see more or less of then leave a comment. Next blog is in about a week, fingers crossed there could be new bike content and first ride video too.
