Picture this....

Long lie till 7am and went out for a quick 6k run.  It was a beautiful day and this was a great start to the day.  It is a real privilege watching the rush hour drivers getting stressed out as they head in for the "rat race".  Being able to run your own business does have some advantages and choosing when to travel in to the office is definitely one of them - I can do a few hours and have put in a training session and miss the grid lock.
Tonight I had my swim analysed by the coaches on video, including under the water.  There were no nasty surprises but it's never easy seeing yourself making mistakes, especially as you have been told about them before.  But now I have the mental picture and was given some drills which will allow me to improve my technique.  I will work on this when I am in the pool but realistically technical work is sorted in the winter sessions.  Nothing will change before Sunday.
Looking forward to another long lie tomorrow, 7 am, and an open water swim tomorrow night assuming the weather is ok.  I would like to be more comfortable in the open water swim so I don't waste a lot of nervous energy in the event.
