If you don’t pass your exams you can always be a professional cyclist :)

I go out on Saturday and Sunday and usually do between 70-90 miles. We always stop at a cafe for a while, regardless of what kind of ride it is, so if I get home ‘early’ (just after 2pm) I think ‘great! loads of time to do some work/revision :)’. Protein shake, sit around half dead for half an hour, shower, eat, sit around half dead. Oh look, how did it get to 5/6pm? :P Might as well do some work, but I’ll just go for a lie down. Oh look, I accidentally fell asleep for 2/3 hrs. And I’m 18 lol. Weekends and productivity are mututally exclusive!

I let the swiss bibshorts ferment a few hours and instead eat some fruits and ready sandwich, quickly shower, then have a short nap like 30min. Start working after waking up, and when hunger pinches, make a break for cooking lunch, which in double measures might serve as dinner later on.

When needed, I sometimes can just shower and have a snack and go to work just like as if I had not stopped riding… again let the bib ferment… and go to bed very early.

This works for me (sometimes).

Besides, writing about economics is extremely interesting. I too love my job. I take short breaks to read british cycling blogs and blogs about losing weight in Iceland to make it even better.
