The waiting game

I arrived in Bala at 9.30 on Saturday as I couldn't get out of that hotel quick enough.  After some breakfast I went for a wee cycle and came to the conclusion that Bala is beautiful and hilly.  Checked into the Red Lion Farm B&B - highly recommended, so friendly and even gave me £10 for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres!  Went for a swim in the lake - baltic but after the first 5 minutes yo warmed up or was I numb? 
Didn't get to see my club mates so had dinner of steak and pasta before retiring to watch the world cup - not so many red crosses down here, can't imaging why?  Too much time to think and had to work hard to rationalise with the voice in my head - "yes it was 11 months since my last triathlon, but I had done the training"! Bed by 10pm.

  1. Good luck Derek! Sounds like the training is going well and thank you so much for choosing to support us again.

    Nice of the Red Lion Farm too!
