I needed

After a couple of days sick with a sore throat and a strong earache because of this sudden change in weather - from sunny days and 20ºC to a 4º or 5ºC..

I was lacking some motivation to train and today's ride - sunny, wet, windy and freezing - was the perfect way to recover my mood and my motivation!

One week

I'm getting more homeworks to do and it's getting a bit cold here (5ºC).

To complicate things a bit I have a cold.

I found this to motivate me:

Please?

Mom, Dad can I do this?

It was like this

Nice ride on saturday morning with the Tri-Anglia guys. 80km done to Reedham 

Then I have watched the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii from 5pm on saturday until 3 am on sunday (i have only watched the pros) and then from 7 am until 9 am to watch the some of the most amazing men and women age-groupers arriving before the cut-off (before 17 hours).

In the pro-field the aussies dominated the race with two of my references winning - Chris Mccormack and Mirinda Carfrae:

On sunday at 10am off for another long ride this time with the guys from the University Triathlon Club. 60km towards the Whitlingham lake (a lake with about 4km long - the place where between May and September it is possible to swim).

Tomorrow will be a great day. I will try to follow every second of it...

One day...
