Hungry boy!

Triathlon training gives you an appetite due to the calorie you burn off - 4,000 in a 4 hr cycle on a Saturday so imagine what I am going to go through on Sunday when I add on the 2km swim and a 20 km run!  So my breakfast meeting at 8am included muesli, fruit, yogurt, bacon & eggs with toast.  Lunch was fish and chips and dinner was my daughters favourite, home made pork stir fry.  In between there was the odd banana and some chocolate.  If you want to eat and not put weight on, try triathlon.
Today the bike was fitted with tri bars.  After my sports massage, to keep the legs in order, I went for short and slightly wobbly ride.  Tomorrow I will have an hour on them before I head off for Bala.  This will allow me a relaxing day examining the course and getting registered.  The family aren't accompanying me as it is our annual gala day in town but I will meet up with some of my club mates - probably the last I will see of them as they are a lot faster than me!  The excitement is building.
