Last Sunday the team had a nice four and a half training ride with a few steep hills thrown in for good measure.
I really seem to be on top of the fuelling too now - god bless fig rolls and peanut butter sandwiches but still trying to work out the best way of carrying more than two bottles as hydration seems to be my weak point.
On Tuesday I did another hilly ride around north Lancashire but started to experience pain in my left thumb. Over the next couple of days the pain got worse so I ended up at the hospital. I've torn the ulnar collateral ligament in my thumb so have to try and rest it which is easier said than done so yesterday it was the static bike in the gym for a 31:30 10 mile time trial and today going to see how much the rollers hurt.
Next weekend we have a training camp in the Lake District which will include a trip up the Kirkstone Pass which should be fun - I'm a little concerned about my thumb as currently can't hold the hoods so it'll be seated climbing for me.
We're still looking for a nutrition partner for LEJOG but hope to have an announcement soon.
