Update: 17 wks...
Weight: 14st 1.2. BMI: 28.1. Body Fat: 22.8%. Body Water: 53.4%.
Wk 18 Training: Hours: 9:23. Bike: 180.9k. Work: 7,046 KCal.
A mixed week. The good news was that this week was my most training to date (9+ hrs and 7000+ KCals), and my most significant solo ride. However, the bad news was that on the weight front I put on a pound.
Once again I think that I can pass the buck on the weight gain – the Sunday Lunch (roast pork & trimmings) is taking the blame. Over all I have been pretty pleased with my weight loss – 24lbs in 11 weeks – so I am not going to start panicking just yet. If I can continue to loose at a rate of 1.5lbs/week then I should reach my target weight (sub 13 stone) by the end of May.
Completed a good ride on Saturday – predominantly because it was by far my longest solo ride to date. I had previously done solo 60k rides a couple of times, but on Saturday completed 101k (in 3:44 at 27.1kph). The ride was a little lumpy at start and finish but for the most part was pretty much flat, however, there was a very strong westerly wind. That made the first half of the ride very hard going. Head down, pedals spinning and I was still only grinding along at 15-20kph. I got payback on the return leg as the wind helped me push along at 40+kph for several stretches…
