Dogging work!

Spoke to my coach last night and was pleasantly surprised that I don't have a hard week of training.  It a recovery week so today I had a long lie, 6.30am, and worked from home.  At 12.30 I dogged off work (don't tell anyone!) for an hour and went for a spin on the bike - 20km.  Legs felt great and heart rate was low so it looks like the recovery plan is working.
My Maggie's campaign (www.justgiving.com/derekmissionironman) received a lot of money yesterday and we are now up to £4,202 (including gift aid) but we need to get closer to the £10,000  so please spread the word.
The next 59 days will involve some long open water swims as I need to be able to complete 4km without being exhausted, probably Loch Lomond, and some 5 / 6 hour bike rides so I am going to enjoy the rest this week.
