Undercover!

Today was a rest day and it was much appreciated after the build up of training.  Tomorrow I am swimming, turbo training and running so the sports massage I'm having at lunchtime should ease the legs, although not pleasant at the time.
I am also going undercover for charity!  Movember, which takes place in November, is when men (and some women!) grow a moustache to raise money and awareness of prostate cancer.  It's been 25 years since I last supported a moustache and I swore I'd never do it again.  But I'm a sucker for a good cause. If you want to follow the progress of my 'tache" growing go to http://mobro.co/missionironman where there is photographic evidence - you could also pledge some funds if you were feeling generous!
As I am writing this blog I'm watching the footie and they are talking about some of the footballers supporting the cause so it just shows the power of visibility i.e. the 'tache.  It's certainly easier than Ironman but some of the looks I'm getting is painful!
