ok - maybe back to square 3, not 1

was a bit disappointed with my ride the other day, so i went out again today (similar conditions - high 30s) but did a shorter ride. I completed 32km and while my heart rate was still high (average 152 bpm) it was not off the scale. I also climbed the KP climb and managed to complete it in 6:08 which for me is close to the fastest i have done it in a while [albeit getting to it after 1 hour/25kms rather than 1 1/2 hours and 50km) and 45 secs quicker than the other day.

So my take is I am less fit, but i am not back to square 1, especially if i havent worked in the garder and i am not physically tired (especially in the lower back and hamstrings) and i am well hydrated (which i probably wasnt the other day).

I have now completed 1470 kms and i only need to find 60 ish kms over the next couple of days to do the 150 i was looking for this week.
