Today I collected my bike from "hospital". A new "bottom bracket" was required and this was the noise I had heard when I was last out on it. The result was that my pedals were not easy to turn. Can you imagine what would have happened if this had occurred in Lanzarote Ironman which was the last time I had ridden the bike! Obviously it was close to failure but luck was on my side.
Tonight I went to Loch Lomond for an open water swim with team ATHelite. Initially the water was cold and it took your breath away. But after 100m swim I started to feel ok and could enjoy swimming in such a stunning location with the mountains in the background. I only stayed in for one lap of the course as I am still recovering so I watched on as the other triathletes went on for a second lap - they are preparing for a half ironman in 2 weeks time. There is no point rushing my recovery as I will end up exhausted and not able to train. As I have a half Ironman on 18 August I want to make sure I am fit to take part. But what a way to end a week - not may people get that opportunity.
