My hair however is a disaster! It's so long at the front that it's past my chin. So when cooking a leg of lamb tonight I was dancing round the kitchen to heavy metal music "head banging" with the hair playing its part. My kids thoughts I was off my head, after all I'm a soul man. But there was times in the 70's when heavy metal was my thing. Lock down is having that type of effect on me so I'm hoping it's going to relax in due course.
It's been a good week of consistent training with some more virtual racing. Again it's amazing the effect having a race in the diary makes. Total focus meant I complete my Olympic Triathlon with 2 great runs and a less than average bike. I'm delighted with the runs, they push me to the limit and I'm enjoying it but next week there will be some longer runs so back to a slower pace. It's a different type of pain. My 10 km run doubled up with a race organised by my pal in Romania. His run meant there were over 2,000 athletes around the world running the race at the same time and I knew some of them so it made it special.
As for the bike, I decided to take a scenic route which involved a lot of climbing. I was more interested in enjoying it rather than pushing myself on a boring route. It's a training session and my long term objectives are more important than a short term goal. I'm just getting back to cycling so I shouldn't be too disappointed.
Whatever it takes, lets get through this pandemic and look forward to what they are calling a "new normal" in time. Stay safe and healthy.
