In total have done 11 miles on bike today. Did 3 miles very slowly with daughter Lucy in the afternoon average 5.9mph! and then did a sausage run as I call them to pick up Morrison's low-fat smart-choice sausages as they shop there and we don't. The sausage run by comparison had an average of 13.7mph over 8 miles which isn't bad but it was a little quicker than normal partly because it bucketing down with rain on the way back!! Still it was pretty quick for me over 8 miles.
15:15 Halved at Golf
We played John Bromage and Andy Pearson today. We were getting soundly thrashed to start with but managed to drag it back to all square on the fifteenth after they made a bit of cock-up with the maths. I won the 16th so we went 1-up with two to play. I played the 17 perfect for two shots but put third into bunker and we ended up losing it. John put his tee shot on the 18th into the water so had to play it well. So really belted a driver over the pond on the corner then hit a real solid 7-iron about fifteen feet past hole to put a bit of pressure on Andy (. Andy put his about twenty feet past so putted first. He left his about 2.5 feet wide of the hole. Mine was about 6" and was conceded so rather magnaminously we conceded his and settled for a half. It was as much as we deserved really, John was pretty rough with either man-flu or real flu definitely not himself. Anway we got a half and didn't lost so that's alright. Craight Murphy and his partner lined up for next week at same time.
8:35 Loading up the Golf Bag
Off to play golf in about fifteen minutes time. This is what I put into the bag now for refreshment. 2 stimulant drinks which are of the diet variety so no probs there, two bananas and three apples. Note: No chocolate as there would have been at one time! Had two slices of granary toast for breakfast for a change as only have two Optifit yogurts left!
07:15
Went to bed early to catch up on some zzzs, ended up having raging stomach pains and sickness. I think this is down to consumption of peanuts as had the same thing on boxing day (albeit drank a load of alcohol too on that day, as Liverpool had stolen points off Derby through poor refereeing). Anyway, am going to avoid peanuts going forward - only had them as we've got loads of stuff hanging around from Christmas and I hate seeing things go to waste.
B.P 140/83, pulse 61, a little bit better, still work to be done.
Have got golf at 9.15 so am going to get ready for that and try and enjoy it this week!

Where's the new bike?
If you can run 10K in under 1 hour, you should be capable of 16mph average over 8 miles, or is it the bike? Expecting to see higher mph on new bike when you get it.
Thanks for the comment. New bike is now supposed to be arriving week commencing 21/1/08 according to Winstanleys. Speed recorded is for old Giant MTB fitted with Cityjet slicks. It's okay for round here - some nasty hills to climb and it includes a trawl through Ashbourne where there's traffic lights and junctions where you have to give way. However, I will endeavour to improve my performance when the new bike arrives!!! Thanks again, Paul
