Last Sunday I did the 77 mile Highclere Sportive along with and ably assisted by son Stuart. It was very hard with some mean hills, 1700 metres in climbs. It was a bit much for me and next day, twang went my back again. So it is now back to slow recovery. Fortunately it is muscular and not discs. Big swimming championships coming up in a fortnight – hopefully I’ll be OK but with lack of training I might not be on top form. I have decided not to time trial again and go very carefully on any long distance stuff. I will leave competition to the swimming whilst I can.
