Monday

Swim and spin Monday. 2.8km swim with ECR, GF and DH. AB and GB joined in at the end. Very busy pool, hung around at the side of the pool until swimming lesson finished and grabbed that lane.
Jumped on a spin bike and had no-one around me again. This is becoming a bit of a worrying habit. Maybe I have lost the ability to talk to people. Certainly working and living on my own is driving me stir crazy.
Tuesday
Tough swim set, everyone was talking about the 8 * 100m after. The target times were tight. Swam so hard I had sore elbows by the end. 3.6km I think.

Thursday.
Back to the real world and back to work. Really horrible night and a major effort required to load the bike into the car to head for the club turbo session. No way was I going to do the post turbo run though.
Friday.
Rest day.
Saturday.
Swim time trial. Raced against Gordon Friel. I went for taking it steady and concentrating on big turns. I think we dead heated in 5m59, I need to up the effort level a bit. This was taking it too easy.
Club run, tough old run, out to Blairforkey Drive, up via 9th hole of BofA to do the ressy backwards. Then over the mtb course. I thought I had put in a good shift and then AB and JS came in 10mins later after doing Jennys run.
Sunday.
70km bike in about 2 1/2 hours. Wee Braes and Big Braes with AB Jools GF and ultra runner Phillip. Impressive seeing GFs legs spinning round on his fixie when descending the Braes.

Fleeced
Zn
The life of a professional athlete continues. I could get used to the life of no work and lots of training.
Went out with APs cycle group for the first proper group cycle of the year. The group was AP, Jools, Brenda and whispering Geoff and I. Geoff was on a new bike which had a puncture, wheel and saddle issues. The initial plan had been to do the wee Braes but as we approached them the weather was looking a bit dodgy so instead we went strange side roads that AP knows which took in Thornhill and Kinbuck. All in all 50km in 2 hours.
Fleeced in the title refers to the fact that I decided to get my non latching front door fixed. I called a guy in, he was here for five mins advised me to just keep on using the dead bolts as he would not be able to get any parts for the lock and a new lock system would not look good. So £78 to be told just keep doing what you are doing.
Thankfully the swim session was a good one. 3.5km of solid hard work. I was bringing up the rear of the lane with Big John, Peter and Alistair Preiss. I initially did not feel up for this but the joy of getting through 5 * 100m with dead turns perked me up. Back to Bob's afterwards to eat his crisps and drink his beer.
