It's done, just shy of 50km... Feeling like I'm catching back up with the old ways!

The weather is not inviting for riding outside yet... Cold and wet, with ice on the road here and there. I am training on Zwift lately, I am halfway through the "road to the sky" challenge for February.
Getting slowly better at pacing myself on the climbs and managing my gear shifts. Unfortunately I still need to get my nutrition strategy right... I didn't have any carb-intensive snacks today so I almost bonked and the last 15 KMS were quite the challenge. I need to have some emergency candy or some gels at hand to get out of the carb slump. Hydration worked well however, i had at least one liter of water (sweating a lot because indoors there's no air to cool me down) with some magnesium and salts tablets. Feeling sore but not cramped.
If you'd like to, pm for adding me on Zwift!

But what about 2023?
Over the last few days I've detailed things I enjoyed in 2022. Now though is the time to look forward to the new year. Not going to do resolutions, but, I am going to list out things that ARE going to happen, and a few things I would LIKE to happen.
Things that ARE going to happen
At some point between now and June, I should receive my Gender Recognition Certificate. Now, this is purely an administrative hoop to jump through, but with the political climate the way it is here in the UK, it feels like an important milestone in my transition, and another thing to tick off the list.
In February I get to take my daughters to their first ever live music gig. So the three of us will bundle in to the car, and drive down to Brighton to see Cavetown at the Dome. Should be a really fun day out and looking forward to their proper introduction to live music.
At the end of January I'm going to be heading down to Somerset for a That Pedal Show Experience day. As you will have seen from my YouTube likes for 2022, TPS are one of my favourites, and their experience days are a chance for small groups to meet, chat and get to mess around with ridiculous guitars and gear.
Things that I would like to happen.
Get back into the habit of doing an hour of exercise a day. I've got a reason to try and be as fit and healthy as I can be, and I know that if I can just get the routine going I can do it. So while it's still cold and miserable outside for real cycling, will be on Zwift a lot (off to a good start today 15 miles in 50 minutes), and then as the weather improves some nice time trials along the seafront.
The reason I need to get fit and healthy. Not going to go into details, but if you know, you know. Suffice to say, it will mean spending about a week at a place in Wimbledon. No real timeline on it at the moment, but the wheels are in motion.
So happy new year to everyone, will be interesting to look back at this one.

Hello Campers!
Too long time, no tumbl-err!
Well what new hell have I found to inflict upon myself? A Concept2 Rowerg! My Zwift cool down exercise for now. Rowing beats the heck out of my bicycle dino arms so it’s a cool down thang right now.
We are finally looking in the rear view mirror at Covid, both V and I suffered. Nothing much more than a cold really but boy did it linger. Felt like someone was sitting on my chest for weeks.
Anyhoo, it’s done, moving onward!

Afternoon workout complete 💪💪
Nothing special but I'm satisfied. 60% through the climb to the sky challenge, and a new personal best on every KOM on the route. All on the big ring (admittedly a 46 tooth with a 11-34 on the back).
