I've been reading up recently on nutrition and hydration. It appears that getting the right balance of proteins and carbohydrates, and at the right times, can be key to a successful endurance event. And apparently, just drinking water isn't good enough either - should be energy drinks. The more I read, the more worried I get! If I consume all the calories I'm going to need, I reckon I'll spend more time chewing and swallowing than I will pedalling! I think I'll stop all this research, and just get on with it....
Training this week (with 13 weeks to go):
Miles cycled - 60 (2 x 18, 1 x 24)
Hours on turbo trainer - 3
Hours on rower - 0.5
Books deleted from Kindle - 1 - a book on cycling nutrition (see above!)

| Brocklebank. A good training road - not especially steep, but very long! This is just the bottom half! |
