Well the day started with an hour of Sufferfest, a turbo session. Angels in fact, a challenging, demanding, leg burning hill workout. It amazes me how easily just sitting and pedalling in the kitchen can be so, so much bloody hard work. Then straight on to the Concept 2 for an easy(ish) 5k. This was the first one since I pulled my calf muscle and to be honest at 21:13:1 wasn't to shabby.
The day got better. Off to town for a spot of retail therapy; Poundland, Wilkinsons and Tesco and I'm all set for a return to work clean shaven and smelling nice! A visit to my brother (aged 49). His hobby is making Lego models. Models I had no idea existed, a Sopwith Camel, Tower Bridge, the worlds largest container ship and a small town of intricately modelled and filled buildings from cinema to restaurant. Next time I am looking for a Lego gift for a child it just won't be the same.
Then off to the swimming pool where I managed a cool non stop 1050 mrs in 23 minutes and then spent 20 minutes playing with Cameron (aged 5) who had finished his swimming lesson.
A Saturday filled with the thrills of training, the comfort of family, the cut and thrust of the highstreet and the pleasure of a child playing. Sunday could be so boring!
Returning to Triathlons and training, after a long time away (years). I thought maybe I should keep a record of it; however I have been pretty damn useless at that so Im tri(ing) again in 2014.
