The enforcement of rest and a hiatus away from training today came from dreadful weather and work commitments. Woke up at $ then at 5 am and was raining so I gratefully dug deeper into my pillow for more shuteye. K's gentle breathing was evident and comforting and she was contentedly sucking her thumb . She woke up, looked at me sleepily with eyes that do not quite register and promptly lay her head on her mother who as usual was sleeping like a dead log. Well I rationalized I had already done 77 km this week and I could afford a bit more shuteye. Thought I could do with a 90 swim session in the pool to make up. So it was a not so guilty morning!
I reviewed the Aviva 70.3 route again. I would go for a conservative 1 hour swim( with 2 loops of 800 m, it should be imminently do-able; thence the bike lake at an average speed of 27.5 km should take me 3 and a half hours; the run leg at 7 min/ km should take me 2:30 so my time should be a 7 hours time for completion so that should be a time I should aim for.
well assuming I do 2 hours of biking and 1 hour of running, I would have done 7.5 hours and with the weekend beckoning I should surpass 10 hours in my first week of triathlon training!
Well as it transpires, work commitments dictate that I cannot even do the swim nad so my take of today is one big zero! Well no sweat off my beack I think as I will make up for it by doing 3 hours tomorrow.
