Training Weeks T – 13 & T – 12

A couple of mixed weeks here, a poor week caused through tooth problems and having to go away for a couple of days followed by a really good week. Ended up having to have a root canal in one of my wisdom teeth, and was informed if I still had problems I was going to have to go into hospital to have it removed, due the risks to my facial nerves … not good.

On the up side I did get my first Century ride done and felt quite good about it
