Time for an update, if only to postpone further slothly nagging.
The last two full weeks have seen very little activity (except of the alimentary canal variety) as the planned fortnight off kicked in, coinciding with many Christmas Festivities.
Imagine my surprise, NOT!, when the scales kicked in at 104.2kg this Monday, an increase in the two weeks of 3.2kg meaning much effort will now be required to get back on track.
Having read up on various training forums, I took heed of the advice that a break of a couple of weeks in the winter is a good idea to let the body do some recovery and come back stronger.
It seems that this is good advice, but after 12 days of inactivity, the Turbo Trainer briefly came into play. I say briefly, since with the Col de Telegraphe DVD loaded, the portlier Datameister set off up the mountain with a vengeance, and promptly snapped a spoke after just 2 miles. Cancel training for remainder of day, and take wheel to friendly neighbourhood bike shop for repair.
Mr Sloth the wannabe personal trainer will be glad to hear that training is now back in full swing (see next post) and the diet is being gradually reinstated (subject to ultimate run-off of Christmas goodies).
