concentrating on form

Up with the alarm at 5:00 this morning. Out of the pajamas. On with the cycling kit. Two bananas. One honnobi manju. Stuffed into the pockets. Two bottles of mugi cha. On to the bike. Look at the watch. 5:07. Faster than Superman in a phone box!

Want to be back by 7:30. Family trip to Echigo Hillside Park. Hard training recently, so was considering a rest. But tomorrow's weather looks a bit dodgy. If it's fine, we'll do the じょんのび　２００km　course, so I may regret riding today later.....

Anyway, nothing too hard today. Concentrating on form. Keeping low on the bike. High gears. Keep the cadence up. Keep the heart rate down.

Feel like I'm coming into good form now. At 76.5 kg, I'm 2 kg lighter than at Kusatsu. I can probably lose more still, but it's a good fighting weight for Tokyo~Itoigawa.

200km tomorrow?????

Saturday's asaren:
