Club La Santa day 3

Started the day open water swimming in the lagoon - skins - 1800m approx 45mins.

Felt fabulous but arms were getting tired so decided to stop

I'm feeling very positive though for the Outlaw if I'm happily doing 1800m before I've been started my training in earnest!

The rest of the morning was breakfast and a spa 🥰

Lunch then :

I am really tired.

I guess it's the constant doing something

An excellent easing in to my training proper in a few weeks time.

And FYI - I now have an idea what to do with the TRX 🤩 An amazing piece of kit that enables you to do pretty much everything. I'm now excited to try it when I'm next at Jubilee or Mayflower Gym

Last full day tomorrow

Winter Sun - the journey

I'm writing this from the sofa in our apartment at Club La Santa, Lanzarote.

It's fabulous

After work Monday 30/1 I caught the 7:18pm to Waterloo and was drinking tea with Pete and Nick in Pimlico by 8:40pm

Such a lovely catch up plus love my birthday pressie from them - ten steps to Nanette by Hannah Gadsby (loved her Netflix show)

Headed off to Victoria Station 10:15pm and was eating a Macdonald's on the train to Gatwick at 10:56pm

Basically I was going to sleep at the airport!

Spoiler alert - I manage an hour on a bench by Costa Coffee at arrivals North terminal 1:45-2:45am. I was starting to feel quite delirious but after my nap I felt so much better!!! I am now an even bigger fan of the nap

Went though security at about 4am after walking around departures for awhile - both inside and outside. So peaceful. And smashed out the steps 😂

Charged phone, watched some YouTube, read my kindle and chilled. Then wahoooo - off to the gate for my flight to Lanzarote. Ate, read, snoozed and before I knew it - we landed. No luggage to collect so I was out of the airport and in a taxi to Club La Santa by 12:15pm

OMG

Lanzarote is beautiful.
