Despite the threatened rain, it was glorious sunshine when we went out today - although there was never a tailwind unfortunately, which was sorely missed! The wind seemed to follow us around today and it kept changing direction, so that we always seemed to be riding into a headwind! It doesn't help when you don't get much shelter riding behind the other members because they are so thin - no doubt it is good practice for when I get dropped in road races!
So, I am rather proud of myself today as the average speed on my computer (which only calculates it when we are moving) said 15.9 mph whereas my Sportypal application said 15.08 mph, which included stops - now I think that is progress, especially seeing as I am still nowhere near feeling any better.

I must say that I thought that my lungs were going to give up the ghost at one point in particular - namely when we were motoring up Tatton Wall, but I just tried to ignore it and kept going. I did have some CNP Professional ProHydrate energy drink today, and I did feel better - I don't know whether that was psychosomatic or whether it did really work, who knows? Having said that, I'm definitely using it again!
Could we finally be seeing some improvement? Wonders will never cease!
