It's a coupla days after Labour Day and it blows being back in the office after four days off. I'm clearing bits of leave here and there and I had last Friday off as well so that was nice. Not that I had a real break. After the six-day block of training I did last week, which involved a fencing lesson everyday for five days in a row, road relay hill training, a sprint tri, a couple of rides and just plain pain at fencing each night, I backed it up with three days of suffering ending on Sunday with a five-man team competition. For those who don't know, that involves getting to 125 points, and took almost two hours. Damn. I was crawling on the bike yesterday and only squeezed out 40k and a few tears. Thank goodness it wasn't so hot in the afternoon. Both my hamstrings feel as if the devil is using them for guitar strings, my right glute is telling me it's been detached from my pelvis, and the rest of me just feels wrecked. In other words, back to normal. Nationals this Sunday should be amusing...I can't wait to get in a decent competition again...it's been awhile since I've had a result I've been truly satisfied with and I'm hoping to pull out a good one this weekend. If I don't, at least I have Dawn's wedding to look forward to...I always enjoy weddings...even if it is gonna be hot at Botanics this Saturday. So I've started at Saturday...it's a pretty low-key kick-off but I guess that's nice. Now I gotta make sure I churn out some decent copy chop-chop.
