Today was the first outing of the TFC of 2012 and for Man Flu Phil the first ride for 2 weeks after suffering all over the festive period with what Andy described as, "a debilitating Illness"...Figian Man Flu.
With only 9 weeks left before the off and the start of our Chicago - New York Challenge the need to train and the pressure from the big one to "man up and get on it" was no longer bearable. So with still mucus engulfed sinus and wheezy chest we ventured out onto the highways on Pendine. In 4•C temps and 20mph winds we headed off to the Ginst and then returned via the "Hill of doom" where the old ticker according to my polar monitor was doing 164 bpm and causing a bit of heavy breathing. I struggled so hard the Fat Controller nearly beat me up to the summit.
More training planned for tomorrow and the rest of the week before a longer ride on the weekend and a planning meeting with our technical support consultants (Big Fat Gay Uncle Lyndon - BFGUL and Gethin "the very furtile man mountain" Jones.
