We got up late; Jules had got back after midnight from a wedding shoot yesterday. I was supposed to be doing a time trial on one of the fastest 25-mile courses in the country this morning (the R25/3, in South Wales), but the weather looked grim. Eventually we drove (oop!) to the gym, and while Jules did a run on the treadmill, I settled for a 3×5km erg. Despite not having sat on an erg for a couple of weeks, it went OK. HR seemed very low, and this encouraged me to push it on a bit in the last rep.

One of my brothers is having a BBQ this afternoon, in Devon, but neither of us fancied a long drive to stand about in the rain. I guess we both felt the need for a lazy day
