I went for a charity ride yesterday, called RIDE FOR SIGHT. All proceeds go towards research for treatment of retinal blindness. Although I was feeling a little under the weather from having the flu for the past two weeks, I bit the bullet and went for it. I haven't done allot of exercise due to being ill for some time so obviously I wasn't expecting to have a very good race. I followed just a few of the light training programs for a few days, four days split up between the two weeks to be exact. It was remarkable to see from the little training I have done to how good my pace was yesterday. Although I only did a 40 mile race I still finished in 1 hour 50 minutes. I can just imagine how my pace would have been if I stuck to the full program.
I really fellt great apart from my chest burning a little but thats obviously the flu. I am pretty sure if I was 100% my finish time would have been much better.
Glad the race turned out well, was very well organised and thanks to all the marshall and race organisers for a very good race day. There was alot of people supporting the cause as well.
Cant wait for next years race I will then do the 75 mile race/ride.
