That's all that went through my head as I pushed off from the junction.
Clipping into the pedals, the legs spun and spun and spun. What the heck?! Momentum carried me across the road before realising that it is now time to CLIP OUT!! as the back wheel keeps on turning and you are going nowhere.
8 years of faithful service in cycling and the freehub has finally packed in. Good innings, just not convenient when I'm already pushed for time anyway.
I did Tweet the start of the week:
When your van battery is dead on a Monday morning you get the sinking feeling it could be one of 'those' weeks.

And it's haunting me. Good week training, but now a little mini-disaster that will force a change for Sunday.
Thursday 10th April
Day off as long day driving and working in Limerick. Changing this next week.
Friday 11th April
Limerick again and while I'd a rough idea to run am and turbo pm, between staff arrangements and travel it meant I would be back in Oranmore for the evening, so #runmute home
Run: 9.6km, HRAvg 151bpm, Pace Avg 05:15
Saturday 12th April
Aimed to run into that the #Zero25k group but a late wake up left be scrabbling for my bike.
Positive - meant extra few km on the bike = less pessure on Sunday
Negative - short on run km so make-up required.
As per intro, plan went to hell in a handbag. Required a pick up and delivery to bring the group out as arranged (30 eager souls ready & 'willing' to run). I'll need a run this evening as out early doors to do a looonnnng cycle on my TT bike.
Run: 3.8km HRAvg 131 bpm, Pace Avg 08:34
Might miss the bike target for the week but solid start & room for improvement next week.
Thanks for reading.
