Sticking to the plan

Yes, my life is still controlled by Cycling Dave.
Followed the plan last week, can't be bothered to fill in the day to day plan anymore (does anybody read this?), so just a brief summary. Tortured my legs on the two-hour grinding session, did it in the gym, pain from ankles to thighs, didn't recover until days after. As mentioned before, discovered some Dutch mountains, so went there again last sunday, love riding uphil, unfortunately my bike doesn't feel the same way. Something with my 'lagers' (that's dutch, don't know the word) the thingy inside the cranck thing, of course you'll understand. It makes a funny ticking sound.... so will have to fix it.
All the work does seem to pay off, I'm died tired all the time, but still, feeling stronger every time on the bike.

Received the confirmation from the Etape-people this week, it's on.
