A rude awakening.

Who forgot to change their clock forward when they went to bed on Saturday night? Me, that's who. So there I was, laying in bed thinking about getting up for a nice cup of tea and a slow start, when Turbo Man's text arrived, asking if I was still coming out, or had forgotten to change my clock. From horizontal to vertical and pedalling in 7 mins isn't bad. But it did mean that I probably wasn't best prepaired for the South Downs sportive route, 100+km before breakfast, and by the end of the ride it would be fair to say that I didn't have that much left in the tank. However, it was a good ride in dry weather, without strong winds and with good company. Well worthwhile. I can feel it in my legs today though. I am feeling confident that I am ahead of where I was before IM Germany, so I now need to build on it and take it forward.
