I have been here for years.
Yes after far to long I have gotten back on the blog.
So what has been going on?
To be honest not a lot.
I managed to do one short course tri (the same one I have done for the past 4 years) but that is it. I do not have my times handy but I was only slightly slower than last year. Funny, as I am the unfittest I have been for a while, it was the first race I felt that I raced to my full capacity.
Do you need to be unfit to race smart? I am starting to think it works for me.
On the plus side being unfit might not be so bad
- Every session you do it feels like a good work out
- No need for compression gear. All your old clothes are as tight as compression clothes…
- You are never lonely. Every time I have gone for a swim the lifeguards have stayed really close to me
During my blog sabbatical I also managed to go to South Africa and meet some in-laws (my wife is South African). What an interesting and great place – plus we landed just as the SA iron man was on
Talk about a sign
Cheers
