This morning I was meant to be swimming in Loch Lomond but my swimming partner couldn't make it - things happen for a reason in life. The great thing about triathlon is that it involves 3 disciplines so I decided to go running to loosen off the legs from the weekend. It started well but as I was leaving town I felt a twinge in my stomach - uh oh, memories of my Holland trip came flooding back so using my experience I quickly gathered some docken leaves as a tsunami was approaching fast!
As I exited the town boundary I lept over the first hedge I could find into a farmers field and found myself up to my knees in muddy water. No time to stop, tsunami over and two joggers go past giving me a strange look. Obviously I didn't want to be seen by anyone due to my unsightly appearance (and fragrance) but had to cross town to get home before the commuters get up so the last 5km was done at a reasonable pace - the show must go on as they say. As I said earlier, things happen for a reason, can you imagine if this had happened when I was in the middle of Loch Lomond in my wetsuit! Legs felt great so back to some real training tomorrow.
