Day 2 of twiddling my thumbs and I'm now starting to get impatient although my legs are enjoying the rest. When travelling to work this morning I couldn't help but notice the number of "power walkers" out and about enjoying the fact it wasn't raining (a good summer in Scotland that is!). There were loads of them, mostly ladies but it's great to see people out exercising and getting some fresh air. I remember watching the "power walking or race walking" on the telly (either the Olympics or the Commonwealth games) and realised that their funny wobbly motion let them complete 20 km about 25 minutes quicker than I could run the same distance so I'm not knocking it - although I think they will have severe ankle problems in later life.
I had my bike "pimped" with red tape going on the bars to match my outfit for ironman and also to help me find it amongst 1,800 other bikes. Your head can be a bit fuzzy when you get out of the water and you will see athletes wandering around trying to find their bikes but hopefully mind will stand out - probably cause it's the only one left! Only kidding.
Early start tomorrow, 5.30am with a bike ride and run before work. Can't wait to get back in the saddle!
