Normal life returns - for a day

After two hard sessions, Sat & Sun, I get a day of rest.  Today was so beautiful I was tempted to have an open water swim in the birds toilet (see earlier blog) but as the day went on my legs felt weary so I skipped the swim and organised a BBQ instead.  Is this what normal life is like?  Mind you there was no ice cold beer while cooking which is what I am used to do while burning food. So Steve the coach understands how my body works and recovery time is very important.  Tomorrow I will be back in the pool trying to perfect my technique to make my 2.4 mile open water swim easier in 54 days and 9 hours time - not that I'm counting!
