Define rest?

In the middle of the night my training schedule came in for this week.  It's an easy rest week according to Steve due to the long run yesterday, give my legs a chance to recover - how considerate I thought, then I read on.  I could bike up to 90 mins today if I felt like it, swim Tue, bike Wed, swim or run Thur, swim or run Fri, 2 hour bike on Saturday so that I am prepared for the 6 hour bike on Sunday!  Ok so now we are getting serious.
Obviously next Sunday is the big one and I will need to get my nutrition right for that and get some more inner tubes in case I get a puncture in the middle of no where.
Congratulations to four of my club mates from GTC who completed Ironman Austria on Sunday and can wear the Ironman badge of honour - a few more are off to Switzerland for their Ironman in a couple of weeks followed by me in Copenhagen.   How time flies when you are enjoying yourself!  I am going to enjoy my rest today.
