The Richmond Park 3-Lap Challenge

After a weekend mile-munching and the last few days 'resting' (read: drinking) I thought I'd head out to see if any of this fabled 'recovery' had taken place. Felt dire on the way over there, and my legs would implode at the first sign of an incline. So no. Fastest RP laps yet for me though, which was a bit of a surprise.

Lap 1 - 17:43
Lap 2 - 17:50
***Lap 3 *- 17:56
Total - 53:30

Avg. Speed - 22.6mph
Avg. HR - 170bpm
Avg. Cadence - 80rpm

I would say I've got a sub 52:00 in me somewhere just waiting for its moment.

There was a group of three eurobrand-clad dickheads on tt bikes that jumped some lights I was sitting at on the way in to the park. I followed them along Priory Lane then gave them a 5 minute head start while I checked my phone at the cafe. Caught them on the home straight on lap 3. Not at all petty. As much as going round in circles is going round in circles, I enjoy Regents Park a lot more than Richmond I think. Fewer inclines to humiliate me I guess.

Christ! Damn good effort mate - exactly 10mins less than my best.
Sub-52? Fuuuuuuuuuuuu......
