I pretty much cut out booze for the last two months while training for hill climbs. Totally worth it. It's easy when you consider the turbo the morning after a drink will be a waste of time and a drink in the evening after a session will ruin your recovery while sleeping. Had a big effect I reckon. Feel way better in general too. The weight will be much easier to loose while off the sauce.
Last race was in Sunday. I filled my head with Guinness and felt well wonky yesterday.

You lot are completely mad. One year I'd love to try and do hill climbs, !but this year the 'season' coincided with weekend work....

I was supposed to stop drinking? Had two single malts the night before the National...

Good to hear. TBH it doesn't feel like much of a sacrifice and am looking forward to feeling a bit more energised.

Getting sciency is my thing though!
Seriously though, I'm not intending to take the trip seriously at all, I'm planning to enjoy every scenic km. I do however also like a challenge and a project, so I'll also enjoy the training.
Cutting alcohol is purely a benefit as I've begun to realise how tired it makes me. Combined with how much I work, that's not a healthy mix. I'm cutting mid week booze until Christmas and then no booze in 2017.
I'm looking forward to this in a geeky way.
Would be good to have your thoughts, especially on the benefits of weights/off bike work on injury prevention.
Cheers
