Hill training

Better weather today although blustery wind did affect my training. I decided to take advantage of the fact my house is at the bottom of 2 big hills. So for one hour and twenty five minutes I cycled up and down one the up and down the next one. To make it slightly harder I did so in the big ring and stayed in the saddle. My glutes are suggesting tomorrow I'll know all about it so some yoga is in store for later.
You may think this would be boring but training your mind to handle boredom is part of ironman training. The blustery wind also gave me a few high speed wobbles so you need to maintain your concentration.
I think this will become a regular session for me in my preparation for the Bealach Mor.
