Return to Iron Horse

This week I returned to the bike to start some proper cycling not the sweaty turbo trainer but the open road. Early Sunday I was off, just over an hour at an average of 16.7mph. I am Lance(not)! But it felt great, the difference to running is that you cover so much ground so much quicker. Can't wait to get back on it and out again.

One of the podcasts I listen to recently started to talk about Hornet Juice. This is an Amino acid concoction that apparently helps your body convert body fat into energy instead of using carbs. So helps with endurance. I sent off for a few packets to try. If the podcast (Zen and the Art of Triathlon) is right, I will be blistering along for hours. (Watch this space).

Need to find a local Sprint tri to do. There are some that do the swim in the swimming pool so that looks like a good place to start and the 400m swim I have a good chance of being able to do.
