Training Review - Week 40 - October 1 to 7

I didn't sleep well on Sunday. Mrs M had a bug so I had to sleep downstairs with Dexter. I had to start the week with a trip offshore. I managed to do a yoga session in the morning before I went to the airport. That didn't help much with the stress tough. I was working until bed time so didn't manage to get in the gym. 

Tuesday I came back in but spent the whole day in Norwich. I got back to Aberdeen in time to do half a swim session in the evening. 

Wednesday I was back in the office. I rode both ways and then took Dex out for a jog when I got home. 

Thursday was another pair of rides but the weather was shocking on the way home and I decided not to take Dexter out in the storm. I did manage a trip to the pool in the evening for a set of reps. 

Friday I woke up ready for a steady swim and some easy bike miles before racing on Saturday, but finally caught Mrs M's cold. After overdosing on lemsip I took Dex out for a decent walk and then I did go to the pool for an easy 30 minute swim. That was all I could manage though. 

The bug continued through the weekend so I had to skip Keith cross-country and I couldn't even manage to get any of the smaller sessions in. I did get out for a couple of walks with Dexter but nothing that counts as exercise. 

Not a great week considering it is only a fortnight to the European Championships and this was my last real chance to do some fast sessions. Also a bit of a waste of my Friday off.
