Severe weather warning

I was away for the weekend so had Saturday off.  I travelled back a day early so my son could compete in an athletics event and then headed home for my own training. Today was scheduled for a 30 minute warm up on the bike followed by a 2 hour run but the wind was blowing 35 mph with intermittent showers - I really wasn't in the mood but knew it had to be done as every session this close to the event is important.
I didn't risk going out on the road on the bike due to the wind so did a turbo session in my summer house - 30 minutes later I was soaked to the skin, great warm up and perhaps I should do more of them to get used to cycling in temperature.  The run was hard as I battled in the wind but I felt good.  The debris from the trees was evidence of the strength of the wind and even the cows were lying down just in case they got blown over!  Rest day tomorrow and a new training schedule will come through from my coach.
