Sixty six kilometres on the coast today. All at tempo pace (116 HR AV). In the drops. Head down out of the wind. No escaping the flies though. Little black ones get everywhere. Good training for breathing through the nose! Not too hot. But the humidity is really high. Sweating buckets. Glad of the odd drop of rain.

One little dig on the climb behind the power station. 166 HR.

Today's goal? Salt Spa. A nice rotenburo with Luke. Dinner and a couple of beers. My body feels young but my mind is very old...

Thursday's training: coast ride, tempo spin (66 km, 200 m climbing, 32 kmph)
