I worked my socks off today on this one. I was feeling so exhausted from my work trip away, the 12 hour flight home Tuesday and then catching up on meetings and stuff the last two days that I knew if I didn’t really crack on that it would end up taking me all day! As it was I was minutes slower on each discipline, but I need to keep telling myself that as long as I do my best each time then it’s ok for my best to show different results dependent on how I feel. I always tell my children that we must only do our best and nothing more, so I need to start what I preach.
Next week I am definitely doing the whole event outside. Spring is coming and the mornings are lighter, so I can start doing more outside. Being inside for the first 2hrs is so mind numbingly hard. So next week, assuming it’s not terrible weather, I shall hit those roads!
As for the rest of the day, I will work from home and catch up on my last batch of outstanding emails and then I shall have a little lay down!

Triathlon 52 - 52x52 Challenge
A short blog to end; Triathlon 52/52 done. So pleased it’s over. Lots of money raised for the Starr Trust and I really hope it continues as there are so many young people who need our help.
Triathlon 51 - 52x52 Challenge
That was one of the hardest yet both physically and mentally. Physically because my back is still in muscle spasm, caused by a Crohn's flare up that needed rest but didn’t get it. Mentally because the whole triathlon was done gym based, which meant no sea, no air, no trees, no birds - just a clock telling me I’ve hardly started!
