July Press Up Challenge Day 21

Press Ups
Day 21 of the 200 press up challenge. Just 10 more days left to go. I'll have to think of another challenge for August, any suggestions?
Today I part commuted into work on the bike so I wasn't planning an early session on the press ups. I had planned to get up early and get into work early. I drive about 20 miles to work, park up and cycle the final 10 or so miles into the office.
I find this a great way to get an extra piece of training in to a busy day. The final 10 miles are pretty busy heading into Carlisle, so I'm only getting in 10 to 15 min later than I otherwise would, I save on petrol as well. So all and all a good deal.
The morning ride in was great a nice tail wind over the 10 miles meaning I averaged 16.1mi/h, with a max of 28mi/h.
Came a slightly different way back to the car on the end of the day commute, avoiding the main roads as much. Had a head wind for a good portion of the 11.2 miles, but by far a nice journey. Even with the head wind averaged 16.2mi/h and a max of 30.2mi/h.
On the press up front, did these watching the Tour de France while the wife put the little ones to bed. 10 sets of 20 reps with a minute rest in between.
Off to Glasgow Velodrome tomorrow for a session which is going to be good fun.
See you tomorrow,
Owen
