Turns out I weigh 74.0kg which isn't as bad as I expected given the booze (wedding) at the weekend.

Just hit my first target (and it's been my target for about three years).  Hopefully, it's onwards to the next point.  Just need to keep riding and being sensible...
Getting there...

Just 1kg and a bit from my target weight.  :)

I expect to add a bit more muscle over the next few months so I must keep working on the flab.

Interesting how your heart rate didn't drop all the way back in the rest period between the two intervals, even though the power output was minimal. I've noticed that myself, when doing 2x20s.

Trainer is, iirc, Elite Crono Fluid Elastogel Turbo Trainer, power meter is PowerTap Pro, software used to display results was Cycling Peaks WKO+.

Was ok afterwards.

I expect you are slightly ahead.  I pushed quite hard at the end as you can probably see from the graph.

OK, that's done it.

Today I ordered a spare wiring hardness for it.

Will be able to monitor power on a time trial now.  And on the Fred Whitton Challenge.

Ta, I was tempted to rent a PowerTap wheel for a while to give it a try out. £8 per week.

Trainer not much good since I live in a 1st floor flat and the downstairs neighbours might not enjoy the noise, but I can still rag the PowerTap round the park.

Down from 107ish at new year and the first time in 6 years I've been under 100kgs.  Chuffed.

I have  measured my weight several times over the past 24 hrs in view of the confusion relating to last week's weigh-in.

My vanity allows me to believe that the current reading of 92kg is correct ;D

That's very well done.  That 100kg mark is very psychological.  This morning, I was back over slightly, but it's the Wednesday figures that count! :)

Don't think of it as fail - just put it down to being just one of those weeks and you will be soon on track - you have such good cycling prowess  :thumbsup:

Well, it was a fun weekend which contained far too much eating, hardly any cycling, and a lot of lying around in the sunshine, so not all bad at all, really ;)

btw, my son was v disappointed when he heard the campsite wasn't actually in Wales.  Fortunately, a visit to see a forummer meant we did enter the Principality :thumbsup:

Ah, and in which part of the Principality did you enter?

I did 104 (over 5000 ft of climbing) miles over the Easter week-end so I feel like a good girl and was able to eat that Smarties Easter egg without incurring any guilt ridden thoughts  :D

Well done!  And we were in Ross, so popped over near Monmouth.  Very very pretty :)

Oh its so beautiful around there (and I heard that the west got the better weather than us), one of my friends is moving from Leighton Buzzard to go and live in that part of the world.
