Fabulous 

Rest day

Had a bike fit with Dave Hopper of Synergy and tri club

Very happy 

Tweaked saddle and sorted out cleats 

Also confirmed I need new tires.

Nipped back to Tina’s to get my courgette and lampshade.

Blood test request hadn’t been sent through to RSH so will need to rebook. 

Drove home 

OMG - went over the bumpy side of the road a couple of times. Very scary. Just shows you how easy it is to drive tired. Radio on, windows down. Safely got to mums. 

Mum under the weather 

No energy 😢

Supper, TV, pottering 

Alarm set for 6:45am - swimming by 7:30am 

47 days to go - half IM run through

The swim was fine in the pool at Jubilee

The bike ride was lovely with Jenny - we had tea at the Bakehouse, we dodged some rain, we had sunshine but we also had rain. 

Managed 72km and then it really chucked it down so I called it a day 😂

We went to Lemon & Jinga in Romsey - met Tina then back to hers to check out her garden.

Home by 6:30pm

Our for a run - managed 15km and then decided that was enough.

I’d be a DNF if this was an actual race

Great nutrition on the bike

Not so sure about the run nutrition this evening  but there will be so much food on the run at the actual Outlaw so I’m not at all worried about that.

Feet sore

Need to relook at my socks for the run. 

Such a great day

I am tired though and that’s not even half of what I’ll be doing in just under 7 weeks!!
