Sleep: 8.5 hours

Recovery: feeling the legs after ride

Out with the dogs this morning. Majority of the day in the office. Ran to Merewether Baths, did 2K swim and ran home, 1hr 15 all up. Considering doing the Australia Day swim across the harbour and back, 1.4K:

Overall, starting to feel a little flat on the energy levels - the body is not used to exercising this regularly lately.
Lamb for dinner. Talking up a long ride early Sat am.

  1. The first few weeks are always tough, getting used to all the training and trying to squeeze it in around work & sleep!

    The guys here training for 70.3 in a few weeks & everyone exhausted!

    Don't believe anyone who tells you they wake up fresh every day- it would be great in an ideal world but if you are not a full time athlete it just isn't going to happen - so goal is to manage best as possible & listen to your body but don't let it make all the decisions :-)!!

    (PS. This walking the dogs thing going to interfere i suspect as you get into weeks 8-12 of training)
