*insert strangled running uphill noise here*

Hmmm...a busy week. 1,000m swim on Sunday at Spenborough, one on Wednesday at Boiling Pool, then a 7.1 mile cycle followed by an uphill stagger tonight. I'm fine now, but aaargh! The Corporal showed us both up: Nom had to retire to the bath after the cycle due to cramp, but I, foolishly followed the Corporal for the Run of Doom.

Ilkley tomorrow - swim/bike. Yay!

Oooo!

Running tonight! Although probably not wise to run after tea (thank goodness there wasn't a reunion of the Corporal and his fish and chips) we did 3.913 miles in 35 minutes. And some of it was uphill. I'm pretty happy with that. I could have gone further (but don't tell the Corporal!)

Nom has broken glasses so he can't cycle and he had to run blind. Bless. Ten days until new eyes.

In other news, tonight was the first night of recovery drink sampling. Bleugh. Chocolate or strawberry? Now most people would expect me to choose strawberry as being the most 'natural' but in fact the opposite is the case. I tried the strawberry one - I must say, I think I'd rather not recover!

Can't wait for my first gel > <
Mmmmmmmmmm, lovely. U
