Tonight the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and Shimizukouen was busy with late night blossom viewers walking or driving on our course.
They didn’t get in our way and we probably added a bit of excitement to their night as well.
Two new ‘fast’ guys there who put the pace on early and I felt good. Better than last week by about 1000%.
But I still pulled off the back with about 3 laps to go and made a little gruppetto with 2 others. We rods strongly without being lapped. Need to get the winter weight down. My waist is a bit slimmer than this time last year but I’m about a kilo heavier.
Back on the protein routine from tomorrow. Will have to start weighing myself daily as well!

40.69km tonight (last km not recorded) and I’ll go tomorrow night as well.
