As predicted my sister's friend called a 18:30 yesterday. Too late for me to go to the gym after and too early to get in a short session before picking the stuff up. Therefore I was determined to go the full hog today.
Started off with a good run normal sort of time of 55:31. Then on to work by bike. The wind was up. The weather report said 16mph cross winds but it felt like a head wind. I tried to get up the gears as much as possible and I think I managed to stay in 27th gear (out of 28) most of the way. Time wasn't bad considering the weather and as a little reward there was a lovely blonde putting her bike away in the shed. Shame I looked a wreak. It was truly a battle on the way home. The cross wind was much more on the headway side and I was a little puffed out when I finally reached the gym. Jumped in the pool though and it was like I'd never been on the bike. The new goggles worked very well. I hardly got any water in around my eyes. A good 50 lengths later and I was feeling dizzy. I definitely made sure I put my swimming trunks and goggles away.
But lovely blondes aside I found a very pretty picture. Its of a proper triathlon bike. In particular it is a Trek speed concept 7.5. It costs a mere £3000. Only two grand less than my car! It looks fast and pretty....and I want one! See the picture at the bottom of the blog
