Monday, my bags finally arrived in Ibiza. 2 days after we had, and having stressed me a lot more than I needed in race week. We spent most of the morning just tootling around the town and visiting the local aquarium ("underwhelming", would be my full review). In the afternoon I did another short sea swim, but the swell was very different this time. Maybe because we are slightly further round the bay than Sunday.
Tuesday was briefing day. That meant a drive half way across the island again. It also meant as much as possible of a rest day, with just a bit of stretching and rolling in the evening.
Wednesday was race day, which I will post separately.
Thursday morning I did an easy recovery jog in the morning before we went for some sightseeing and then along to watch some of the cross triathlon. Watching the damage to bikes and bodies throughout that race has discouraged me from applying to race it next year.
Friday morning I did another attempt at a jog, but really struggled. My legs stiffened up a lot overnight. After a chilled out lunch I did a little bit of a swim before doing a bit of sunbathing for the first time this holiday.
Saturday the weather turned. I went out for a jog in the morning in the warm rain showers. It was less oppressive than my other runs this week but I was glad to be back indoors before the thunder and lightning started and the real downpour arrived. The weather was on and off all day and back to near Scottish temperatures so I decided against going for a swim.
Sunday the weather had cleared a little so I did a slightly longer jog in the morning. It was still too cold to do another swim without the wetsuit and I didn't want to be packing it in my bag wet for the flight home tomorrow.
Not a bad week. Enjoyed the sun, relaxed a lot, had a decent race but a disappointing result at the European Champs. (I still can't find a sensible set of results so that I can understand my placing more clearly).
