Outlaw Journey Week 8 #BeastFromTheEast

In a word... SNOW!

Norfolk has not seen the like for around 10 years - Probably around 8-10 inches fell over a couple of days, which coupled with temps well below freezing made it  an interesting week to do life let alone anything else!

Last week of the Base Period Started with grand ideas and then suffered a bike mechanical halfway into my intended 3hr plus ride on Monday - Chain snapped, which meant a long walk home from Panxworth (around 2hrs) at least it ensured that cardio-wise it wasn't all a dead loss, but was not happy, thankfully for the first time in years I had my MP3 player with me so indie tracks from the 80's and 90's kept me sane.

Loved running in the snow for 2 days - Trailies did the job well. Erred on the side of caution as soon as it froze though, and so cabin fever set in, but then almost as quickly as the snow came, it thawed and disappeared so went for a very soggy run late on Sunday to keep my averages up.

The numbers:
S&C: 2 x session
Swim: 1000m (37mins)
Run: 32.4k (2hrs 40mins)
Bike: 36.4k (1 hr 32mins)

Inevitably all of the regions park runs were cancelled, so momentum lost on the push for my 50 T-shirt.
1000 mile running challenge for 2018 is going well though and I am still ahead

Build Period and hopefully a bit of all round consistency begins today...
