A quieter day
Awake at 3:29 (woohoo) -so quite a long wait till the tea and coffee arrived in the lobby!Todays agenda was to tweak the bike gears,tri bars, to swim and to run.After yesterdays’ reports of big fish sightings I was pretty nervous this morning about getting into the waves. I am such a wuss at times! No choice but to get in so thats what I did. Ended up being a nice swim. There was quite a chop on the water today and swimming back was quite hard work, I could feel myself being lifted up on the swell and pushed back out again!The morning was spent doing domestic bits and pieces (and saw the Bayliss’ doing some shopping in the supermarket too!).Headed out for a run later in the afternoon, it was cooler and the breeze wasn’t quite so hot.Ran the course in the opposite direction to Monday and the road follows the coast which again meant there was a nice breeze off the ocean and some nice shady parts. The run felt much better than Monday too.I can feel myself getting more tunnel vision as the week goes on, its like looking down a funnel where your focus closes in on one point. I am thinking about nutrition for the next few days and keeping hydrated too.Tomorrow is a complete rest day which I am looking forward to. My legs are getting the heavy tapered feel now and I am hoping tomorrow will give me that twitchy feeling when you want to get on with it.I have to report at this time that US tele is not great, way too many ads and I will be writing to the BBC about providing iplayer outside of the UK!!! Fortunately I have Mark Cavendishs’ autobiography to occupy the feet up hours - very entertaining!
