Busy day

I am often asked how I fit my training in with my life and work. And with the training building to a crescendo at the end of next week, it's becoming a real challenge. Following yesterday's mammoth training effort today all I needed to do was a 90 minute bike session including 6 hill climbs. So I decided to do that after work to give me the maximum rest from yesterday.
I had a long lie, left the house at 8am for a 25 minute journey to the office. However an accident on the motorway meant it took 65 mins to get to the office and straight into back to back meetings until 4pm. Home then onto the bike. Finish the bike, shower, make up rolls and eat them while watching my son play football. Home for 8.45pm to watch the 2nd half of the Chelsea game with my boys while writing my blog. It's amazing what you can fit into a day and tomorrow will be no different with an early swim, wall to wall meetings and a late run.
But this isn't managed single handed. At home my wife is making all the domestics arrangements happen (she also works in the business) and at the office I have a team of people taking care of everything for me. One thing is certain, this amount of activity takes planning and people to support the plan.
