I lost Monday to a work trip to Norwich. Left home at 5am, got home after 9pm and was stressed the entire day. I don't like to fly and twice in one day just adds to that stress. I don't like to talk in public and my planned 1 hour presentation turned into covering someone else and doing 8 hours in front of the audience, delivering a lot of material outside my specialty. And meanwhile my phone was ringing off the hook with other disasters that I could have managed sensibly from the office, but not from a hotel ballroom in Norwich.
Tuesday I was shattered but I managed to ride in and out to work and then went to bucksburn in the afternoon for a steady swim.
Wednesday I rode in to work in the morning but went direct from there to Stonehaven for a super-sprint aquathlon. The race was a bit disappointing. I thought I was in shape to swim close to 6 minutes for 400m so a 6:43 was below par, even allowing for the funny pool at Stonehaven.
I then screwed up in transition and forgot my number belt which took me about 15 seconds to recover. Then out on the run and I couldn't get my breathing to settle out and my running pace suffered for that. I finished in 20:44, nearly 2 minutes slower than I planned.
Thursday and Friday were both commutes, long work days and then evening swims at bucksburn again.
Saturday and Sunday I had to ride in and out to work again. Saturday morning with no traffic and every green light was a fast ride in, and home again. Sunday was a bit of a headwind so slightly slower. Both afternoons I managed to get out with Dexter for short jogs.
Sunday evening I binged all the smaller sessions, just to get some of them in and try and get back towards a full week.
I did expect to struggle with run miles this week due to my shutdown forcing me to ride to work every day. I had hoped that Dexter would help that but I just didn't get out with him until the weekend and even those were just slow and easy.
