This morning started with my swim. My 1,000m warm up went well but my 100m's were a struggle after 5 so I did a warm down and accepted that I'm still in recovery. I'll save myself for tomorrow night in Loch Lomond.
Then I met Dave who is an expert in all things desert - he is leading a party tomorrow into the Gobi Desert which is an annual challenge. We had a good discussion around MdS and he explained the 2 most common reasons for failure was water discipline and foot maintenance. I'm happy with regulating water following Lanzarote Ironman but the foot maintenance will require a lot of studying hence the reason I know have a book to read of feet. We discussed various aspects, such as the venom pump that you have to carry but doesn't work (yikes!) that I have never considered before and it gave me a glimpse as to how much I need to learn, over and above the training. I can't wait but in the meantime need to get back my stamina back.
