Dodging the rain drops
Just back from a fairly hideous run. Following from the race at Bedford on Sunday I have got straight back into a full week of training. Must admit to feeling fairly shattered today and my early morning run reflected that.Made the mistake of not taking a gel before I set off and as a result felt very flat,my legs felt slow and heavy and definitely felt a sugar low! However as I write the rain is tipping down outside so I am pleased I got it over with before the downpour.I really admire triathletes in this country - a lot of dedicated people get out to train in all weathers. The elites have their winter bases in the sunshine but the majority of age groupers(which make our sport so successful) have to train here all year come rain or shine. it must make us the toughest competitors in the world I reckon! Tomorrow I have my first big brick session - thankyou Will : ) so I am hoping the sun will shine and I won’t be dodging rain drops and Sunday a few of us are going to Eastbourne to do a sea swim and bike ride with some lunch to follow!
