March already

Went along for the Saturday swimming session, but the coach who is going to help me wasn't able to attend.  Watching everyone do length after length of front crawl, knowing I couldn't, I decided not to stay but to go back home.  Hopefully this next session will be better, at least I know where to go and what to expect.

Sunday I decided to go for a cycle on my own.  I am not going out with the group again until I have a proper bike and can ride for a decent period.  It was raining when I set off, but I stuck it out.  I set off and its undulating but not too bad, however after about 20 mins you start to climb, and boy its hard work.  I couldn't manage the steep climb through Stockton Heath, but I did manage to long steep climb as you come out of the village.  After cycling for about an hour in the rain my chain fell off.  I struggled to get it on again, bike upside down at the side of the road, just getting wet and filthy.  At this point I decided to go home.  I managed to cycle 18.5 miles in 2 hours, so its an improvement. After I had been home for about an hour, the sun came out and it was lovely, sunny and warm.  Typical - lol.
