Blood, cheesecake, duathlon
This morning: VO2 Max testing at Hertfordshire University (essentially running until you vomit on a treadmill that gets faster/steeper every four minutes, breathing through a gas mask and having blood samples taken from a finger). Despite being a jetlagged, sleep-deprived nervous wreck, I scored a personal best of 63ml/kg/min. Yay!
This evening: cha han and white chocolate cheesecake at Wagamama in Putney (sitting a table away from Josh Lewsey).
Tomorrow morning: the London Duathlon. Run, bike, run (10k, 20k, 5k) in Richmond Park. Actually, I'm going to cycle there and back, so it's more like a bike, run, bike, run, bike. If I can make it out of bed at 7am on Sunday, I'll be joining London Dynamo for their four-hour 'Surrey Hills' ride. After that, sleeeeeep.
(NB – I'm aware the comments, RSS Feed and the SOUTH section of the website are still down. Yes, I'm furious about it, but the hosting is sponsored, and I can only get so pushy with a company that's supported me for four years. I've been assured it'll be up on Monday. If not, the site will be moving to another host.)
