The bank holiday weekend delivered some great conditions for training, particularly on the bike.
Enjoyed a 20+ mile trek up and down the hills and flatter sections north of Leeds with a member of the team, Sarah's brother Pads.
A very tough incline was followed by an enjoyable and thoroughly great workout to help us get ready for the C2C next month.
The only downside was a slow puncture after 15 miles, which required four stops to pump up the tyre to enable us to ride the full distance. A lesson learnt, which is better than finding out during the actual ride.
Further training will take place this week, despite me being away for the end of the week, which will help build up core fitness.
Although we only covered about 40 per cent of the daily target, it was achieved in less than three hours, which hopefully shows the daily distances we've set ourselves are realistic.
There's even more hard work to go, but I'm looking forward to it.
