Might as well start a new thread. All welcome regardless of your goals, just keep moving. Everything counts towards your totals. It's amazing what you can accomplish in a year, how far you can go and all the things you see en route.

@TheLongRider

100km club spin this morning. The first group ride in over a year. Five of us on a nice loop through the flatlands of Kildare to the west of Dublin. 214km for the week.
Fabulous riding well done!!

yesterday I did a recce of the bike route (90km) followed by one lap of the run course (7km) for triathlon I'm doing in June and then a 18km run today - I'm shattered but can't sleep Hmm

TheLongRider · 16/05/2021 23:21

Urgh, I hate when that happens. You've done loads of exercise and you should be very tired but you end up wired instead.

DH is an expert on sprained ankles and judged that mine would be better if I used it. So as the forecast was good, we stuck to our plan of going up a bit further from home for a walk today. It was a bit stiff and iffy to start with, but with boots and a pole (unlike yesterday) and going steady, turned out he was right and it felt quite a lot better after 10.7 km.Grin. Fabulous clear views and an abundance of wildflowers.

Nice short 5.3k trail run tonight after Taxi duties for DD I made the effort to stop on the way home as it’s such a nice evening after endless rain recently.

4k walk with the DCs and my mum who's visiting. Lovely day but the DCs are SO EXCITED my mum said she was tired before we even got to the park, yeah, welcome to my last year. I made her push them on the swing.

4k walk, I'm over 300k walking but need to get going a bit.

TheLongRider · 24/05/2021 03:17

First 320 km/200 mile ride yesterday since 2019. Using canal towpaths and Greenway. Tough but fun solo spin. I'll ache for the next couple of days.

Lots of walking on holiday, we managed to dodge the worst of the weather and we're lucky to find quite a bit of sunshine. Did at least 10km each day

Another 3.8km at the pool last night. Great to be back club swimming, never having to worry about catching up and people pushing off in front is great. Plus we can now shower afterwards

Just 2k to try and get DS used to doing Cubs without me there, have a new R4 series on the go though which is nice. Plus 800m swim but I'm not really counting swims.
