Just a quick update, triathlon fans! Been out on the bike twice this weekend and I have to say that the cycling is by far the most pleasurable of the three disciplines. It's still hard, but managed 13 miles this morning, which is plenty further than the event, so I know I can do it at least.
This morning out around the lanes of Welwyn and Codicote other proper cyclists even deigned to acknowledge me. I must look "proper"! Got a bit hairy at one point when being followed down a steep hill, by a fellow (can't think of another word for cyclist), went over a bump and my water bottle jumped out of its holder and nearly took the bloke behind me out of the game.
By the way, in case you're wondering why I went out twice in 2 days, it's cos I'm in Dublin the next 2 days and won't be able to do any training. Up at 4 tomorrow to get early flight and back at midnight tuesday, so may miss Wednesday morning training too, or is that just wimpy? Yes, it is just totally wimpy isn't it! So gym Wed at 07:00 it is!!
BTW, half way round this morning's jaunt, arse numbness really kicked in. I guess you just get used to it, do you?
Anyway, time to go! 3 weeks today till the event. Bring it on!!
