Saturday 8th January

Went to bed early on Friday to ensure I got a full 8.5hours sleep, recommended by Triathlete Europe magazine as the minimum amount required to enable your body to recover after tough training sessions, of which I have had many this week.

Got up early to get to swim on time, unlike Dave who was late and missed the warm up (some excuse about a light snow shower and having to defrost his car, I suggest you use your garage)

6th swim this week, have covered 11.6k since Monday.

Swam with the girls plus Hans, felt a tad tired and technique was so bad that the coach commented on this, must do better next time. Did I mention i was tired ?, think I had too much sleep.

Next up, morning run from university. Slight technical error ! Had forgotten to wash outdoor running gear and did not want to wear after it had been festering in the washing basket for a few days (you will be happy to hear that it has now been washed). Used treadmill for 40 minutes and practiced sprints, glad i stayed indoors as heard the run was more of a slide on the ice.

I am not happy that Manager Prentice has taken on another athlete, I thought he was going to exclusively manage me, I may ask Abbott to manage me as he is currently Scotttish Champ and I don't recall that Prentice chap winning anything, so he can't be that good.

Not sure what i'm doing on Sunday, but may go to peak for two hours of spin. Also big week next week, need to do a wet suit time trial on Monday and also new set of cycling "experiments" starts on Thursday, testing lactate and recovery.
