A training update

I've been a little quiet on the blog lately, but that's not to say that things haven't been happening in the background.  The raffle tickets are selling really well and there are only about 25 left, so if you're interested, better get in quick.  Email me at aldasilva0@gmail.com.  An additional donation has come in too, but more about that later.


I was thinking lately that I haven't provided any updates on how my training is going, so here it is.  I must admit that it hasn't been particularly consistent, but I have been riding my bike to work.  It is about a 21km ride in each direction and there are a few hills to climb, which is good since Laos is quite a hilly area.  My aim is to try and make sure that I can do each leg of the ride in under 1 hour.  So far it has been pretty good, but it varies a bit depending on how many traffic lights I get stuck at, particularly in the CBD.  My ride is almost entirely on the bike tracks, but there is a little section at each end that is on roads.


This Monday was the last time I rode, but I may also now have a training partner so that will help with the motivation to get out there in the cold.  :-)


I'm working on how I can actually get my logged cycling data to display properly on the blog so stay tuned for more details.
