Update: 9 wks...
Weight: 13st 0.6. BMI: 25.99. Body Fat: 20.0%. Body Water: 55.1%.
Wk 11 Training: Hours: 13:16. Bike: 166.1k. Work: 10,080 KCal.
Weight… Lost 2.8lbs in the week. Another really good week. Now just 3.6 lbs to lose to reach my 12 stone 11 target. Reckon that I should be able to get there if I remain focused. Have also reached some more milestones (which are helping keep up the motivation to progress) – I have now lost over 2.5 stone (38.4 lbs) and my BMI has dropped below 26. Just. My goal for this week remains to lose a pound.
Training… Mostly good. My bike went in for a service on Tuesday (routine service, wheel truing and spoke replacements after a coming together on last weeks club run) which meant that most my training hours were in the gym. But it did give me the opportunity to do some high intensity spinning classes. On the hours front I missed my target. Largely because I assumed that Sunday’s sportive would take me a little over six hours when in fact my ‘ride time’ for the day was 5:35. And certainly didn’t have the energy to do another 45 mins on Sunday evening! I’ve a tough week coming up 16 hours culminating in a 100 mile sportive on Sunday.

I'm doing the Hilly 100 too.
From Pete Etapeorbust.
Any tips for me? Have you done it before?
Pete,
Afraid I've not done the HHH before.
Two things I learnt from last weeks 90 miler...
- Pace yourself - don't try to hang onto the back of a group if it's going too fast.
- Start in an early group - later groups are more likely to contain those doing the shorter route.
Good luck for Sunday, Rich.
