Chaos

At the end of a 12 hour day I was looking forward to my swim.  But due to a chemical problem (probably someone did a number 2 in the pool) it was cancelled.  So I adapted my training plan and went for a run.  However my Garmin computer decided to play up and for the first 12 minutes it didn't record any data.  And as I type this blog it is refusing to transfer any data to my website.  So that's one more task for tomorrow as this is such an important time in my training that I cannot afford to have no Management Information / feedback.
The run however releaved the stress of the day and it made me think how difficult it is for weekend warriors to train and work.  Last week in Lanza had been easy by comparison as I had a full week of training and rest without having to think about work or domestic duties.  Things don't always move smoothly in daily life and you have to continually adapt.  It would have been easy tonight not to have trained but it had to be done because there is a lot riding on Lanzarote Ironman in 65 days and I mustn't lose sight of the money I will be raising for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres.  Having a goal that means something makes it easier to be focused.
