Split shift

Today was a split shift; early bike and late run.  Left the house at 5.45am and ran into congestion - a dairy herd!  Breakfast on the bike was a gel, a protein bar and a 500ml carbohydrate drink to give me energy. 34 km later back home for Muesli and fruit.  Diet is an important part so a banana mid morning is required to keep me going but I had too many coffees as I was in back to back meetings.  Lamb shank with plenty of veg for lunch with sticky toffee pudding and ice cream to follow.
I crammed in a protein bar before my 45 min run at 6.30 and had another 500 ml drink while running.  I have to practice this as it will be essential for the race.  Home at 8.30pm and 4 small poached eggs on brown toast and a wee bit of chocolate washed down with a pint of milk - reasonably healthy I think.  Just time to write the blog, help with the kids home work and not to forget a shower or I might get some complaints from the "management"!  Bed by 10.30 as I am up again for a 5.45am start on the bike.  Feeling good!
