I did a 3 lap flat London race tonight (something to do with Flanders?). Felt like I was cycling through treacle and not as smooth as normal. Started off fast with the main group but just wasn't feeling good, HR up high, legs heavy, a bit of headache, so I dropped back and picked up someone going at a pace that was OK for me. Together we started to pick off the early fliers until about 1/2 way into the ride I had to do a Tom Dumoulan
By the time I got back on I was looking to just give up as I was now down in 47th out of about 58. Anyway, pootled for a bit, found something in my legs and picked up a couple of guys to work with. in the end it turned out to be a good session
Bit concerned by my HR being so high at 177 average - peeps are going down with various bugs at the office so wondering if I've picked something up too hence why not feeling it tonight
