    Legs in agony

    I am near the end of the 3rd week of the TCTP and my legs are aching.  Every time you feel you are making  a break through it seems to ramp up a small notch.  With everything at a high intensity the small notch hurts.

    About L'Etape

    L'Etape is an official stage of the Tour de France. It is held every year and is open to amateurs to give them a chance to ride a stage of the Tour. It is always on one of the mountain stages to make it a proper challenge!

    To find out details on the Etape the official website is here

    As you will see from the website this years tour (2010) is 174km with 3 mountains. The course is very different from last year which had 4 smaller hills and then one very large one. This time 2 large hills then one very large one. I think it may be tougher?

    Base Training has begun

    I started my base training at the beginning of November so now 2 weeks in.  I had forgotten how hard life can be on a turbo.  As I only got it last year it was all new so had a novelty factor about it.  This year it is hard work though mentally more than physically.

    Fat v’s Carbs v’s Weight Loss
