Mechanical failure

Set off this morning on an easy pace with a group.  7km into a steady climb and right before the massively steep climb I have a wee accident at 3mph!  All my accidents have happened at this speed and long may that continue.  Unfortunately it involves breaking 2 spokes which means I'm heading home to get the bike repaired - no cycling today.  But that's where triathlon is good because I put my running shoes on and did 5.5km in the heat of the day, and boy was it hot!  A certain amount of acclimitisation will be required before May 2012.  This was followed by a pasta and king prawn lunch with a banana split (one of my 5 a day) and a few glasses of wine to help the digestion and keep the calarie count up.
Tomorrow is the final day so I am hoping to ride to the top of the island, now my bike is fixed, to see the last part of the IM course.  This will result in a 90 mile ride which will take up most of the day to allow for coffee/cake stops and lunch.  My next post will be when I'm home shivering in the cold and swimming as I can't get my bike through the snow.  Catch up soon.
