Tuesday 18/1
Swim – 1km (41m20s)
Cycle – 47.9mls (15m45s)
Had a rest day yesterday but today was time to clock up some mileage on the bike! Unfortunately the tyre gods were in a bad mood!
Did aprox 20mls in the morning before the front tyre hit a stone in the road and went pop! Unfortunately the spare inner-tubes I had with me were for my old bike and the stem wasn’t long enough to fit the Felt! Fortunately though, i was only 1.5mls from the nearest bike shop, so after a short walk was soon back in business.
On the way home from work i decided to do a few laps on the hills around Crystal Palace. 10mls in and another puncture occurred!!! Doh...
Luckily i had bought another spare from the shop and soon had it changed. Chickened out from CP and headed closer to home and did a few miles around Wimbledon. Didn’t want to be too far from safety if the tyre gods were going for ‘strike three’!
Despite the setbacks still managed to get close to the 50mls target which was good... and lots of practice changing tyres! Awesome!!!
