An athlete who tells you the training is always easy and always fun simply hasn't been there. Goals can be elusive which makes the difficult journey all the more rewarding.

A difficult 3 weeks from the last week in March to the 2nd week in April had me wondering where things were headed. A prolonged bout of sinus infection and low volume training for 3 weeks (sub 8 hours each week). Oh dear my form is seems to be slipping and I don't feel to good. Your body is simply an amazing thing more so than I think we ever give it credit for.
Un - scheduled rest can do you good it seems. Apart from people in the way in the swim and some customary bumping in the lanes, Joey went well. I wish the run had been twice the length, and that I didn't have to stop to get the bloody stones out of my shoes. Still perhaps they played their part by keeping me well paced & focused. Sub 40 off the bike & come to think of it an Olympic distance PB. Sweet.
Roll on next week !
