Ring of Kerry Cycle 2011
The Ring of Kerry Cycle took place on Saturday the 2nd of July.
My wife, through banter at work, had somehow talked herself into completing the 182km cycle this year. To be clear this banter took place back in late April. Dear Tracey didn't even own a bike in April, hadn't cycled since secondary school. Yes in just over 2 months she went from not cycling to a 182km jaunt around the beautiful Kerry. Well done Tracey..
90% of the cycles were completed after work in the evening. Due to my running I didn't complete the same amount of good ground work Tracey did and I've paid the price over this last week, since the event. On the day I was fine, we took a nice steady pace. We took plenty of water and food and stops. All went well.
However the next morning my lower back was sore. This has taken the whole week to subside and only today, 8 days later would I even consider running again but I decided to give it an extra day..
When Tracey started training she roughly followed the training schedule below;
