I am in love with www.mapmyrun.com - How good is it, although I am only going to cycle this tomorrow, awesome stuff!!! Off out for some well earned early beers and then (unfortunatly) an early night...
... sleep ...
Had 2 more beers than I should have last night so only managed to get out of bed for 10,00 but was on the road for 12,00 and busting for good weather... The cycle is around 65km so was banking on 3 hours, so looking forward to some fartlek type cycling. The legs were sore from yesterdays run but cracked on and soon were back to normal. Hit Casa de Campo on the West of Madrid which has loads of free paths. Started the hard/soft trainig for around 30mins - 2mins hard, 2mins soft - for 30 mins was awesome - top speed of 56km/hr - and by the end of the cycle had cycled 88.17km AND since buying my speedo I have now cycled more than 4,000km (thats LONDON to MADRID, MADRID BACK TO LONDON AND BACK TO MADRID AGAIN WITH 205km TO SPARE) not bad eh.... So back to the race, after 4 hours I started to get really burnt, my shoulders and neck are soo red... After 5 hours I got near to the full circuit and me crutch was a little sore... What I don't understand is I didn't go too far off the trail ever yet my speedo at the end said 88.17km yet the circuit is meant to be around 64km - very strange... The picture is taken from the top of a hill in the south - the 4 towers are in the North of Madrid - around 40km from my position.. Cool eh!?!?!
