Back training

I have been easing my way through the "recovery period" after Lanzarote Ironman.  My recovery seems to be quicker that after Copenhagen 2 years ago but I'm not daft enough to think it's complete yet.  In the last week I have played 4 games of golf and that was just to do something completely different and also to exercise the legs - they feel great.  Yesterday I had entered a team into the Strathaven Pro Am and it was a privilege to play with Stephen Gray from Hayston Golf Club.  I think triathletes could learn a lot watching the "mental" approach of players at this level as it only takes one shot to ruin their day so they need to be mentally tough and weigh up the risk versus reward in every shot.
But time to get back to some light training and this morning I got back in the pool. Before arriving at the pool I realised I had no schedule to follow.  This would have meant I would have had no focus and it would have been a mere splash in the pool.  But I wanted to know what shape I was in so I set myself the target of 3 x 500m which by pre-ironman standards was a short session.  Well I am sure you will have guessed, it was long enough with the third 500 being quiet slow but I needed to know where I was in fitness terms.  So it's a start and I will build from here to my next race on 18 August.  it's good to be back!
