My notes from those two:
"AIM:10hr TT
Stealth, random ride into Chilterns - Warington, Wallingford, etc
Started slow (lots of beer yesterday). Riding easy trying to keep eye on power. Can't actually remember how I got where I did - ah yeah via Henley and then hard right up that long drag then just keep going.
Enabled Auto Pause so Garmin stops at lights etc. Finished early (but in dark) so did 25min turbo. Had bar and gel left over. Stopped at pub for coke, half and water refill. Probably not enough - felt bit of bonk at one point but had extra gel and got over it.
Tired today. Legs are a bit tender."
and
"Aim:9hr, Out to Henley via normal way, Walingford, Blewbury, Wantage, Faringdon, Lechlade, Cirencester and then back via Northleach, Burford, Witney, Standlake, Kingston Bagpuize, Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, Nettlebed, Hanley, Maidenhead, Slough, Iver and Hayes
Got a bit carried away (and lost) so ended up with 11hr and 317k. Started ok but died in the arse around 5-6hr. Struggled up climbs in places - legs were toast. Picked up towards home though.
Left hip flexor pain got quite bad around 9-10hr mark.
2L SIS Go 8%, 1.5L SIS Go 6%, 2 cans Pepsi, 6 large Go bars, 5-6 gels"
