I felt like I was going to die when I got home yesterday. Shoes hadn't really dried out from the day before so even with the magical plastic bag trick it only took about 15 miles before the wet and the chill really set in and started making my toes alternately numb and painful. Had intended to do 60 miles but there was a horrible headwind coming from the west battering my face the whole way so turned round after only 20. Then did another 20 miles in the opposite direction also into a headwind?!!!
Got home and fell asleep in the bath, then went to bed at 7pm. Woke up today at 11am. Checked my emails and Strava are sending me a little note to tell me they're starting a "base mile challenge" on the 1st january. Fuck off, Strava!
