Back from the best ever holiday, but that means back to my 52x52 Triathlon Challenge 🙄

Having been away I found getting back to it was so hard. This morning was like week 2 when I woke up and said “nope, not doing it”. Then a few minutes later I was dragging myself out of bed and forcing myself to go. It was a proper struggle. It was made worse by the fact I’m a bit under the weather (not covid thankfully). Sore throat and just not the ticket.

Luckily as soon as I started I found myself falling back into my rhythm and very soon the swim & bike were done and then it was just the run. And I was lucky that my amazing wife joined me for the run - she really helped me finish this today. So a tough start but strong finish.  

Unusually though I think I’m going to take the rest of the day off. I had two work meetings in the diary this afternoon, both of which I’ve just moved to Tuesday. And my plan of writing chapters 18 & 19 of my new thriller book this morning will have to wait until tomorrow. Sometimes you’ve just got to listen to your mind and body.

Wishing you all a great long weekend and as ever thanks for your support and encouragement on this nuts challenge xxx
