On Friday night I ventured out for my first exercise since Lanzarote Ironman. It was meant to be a slow bike ride with no big hills and as the day before 3 flights of stairs had left me breathless. Getting my recovery right will pay dividends in the months to come.
I had unpacked my bike from its "suitcase" and after a mile stopped to make some adjustments. 4 miles later my chain had come off twice and strange noises were coming from the pedals. I had to turn back and nurse the bike home.
I was gutted as it was a beautiful night and I enjoyed being out on the bike without working to tough targets. But it's a start and next Friday I am hoping to be swimming in Loch Lomond with the ATHelite club. Open water swimming is so energising and Loch Lomond has to be the most beautiful place to swim with the amazing colours and surrounding mountains. So slowly I will work my way back to training so I am ready for Aberfoyle Half Ironman on August 18th and be well into my MDS training.
