Rest Week! + 1 day
Today Ended my spell of idleness, more on that later. Up at half 6 this morning, it wasnt any exciting sports on so I wasn't super keen to get up. Britain had got another gold and a bronze while I slept. Ate some food, drank some coffee, watched some canoeing and kayaking and more weightlifting. It was much better than I'd thought it would be. The track and field events begin towards the end of the week and im so pleased i'll get to see them, unfortunately OASC cuts right across most of the track cycling which is damned annoying. Even if i get to see the highlights it just wont be the same. Went to get my hair cut and then went to greggs. Im going to take some V05 styling products with me to the air force hair dresser, hand it to him as i go in and no doubt he'll style my hair wicked cool like a caged beast let loose. Ate my chicken club with the lettuce left in and realised what mistakes id made in the past (to be fair, the one in clarkston was like a lettuce sandwich but with lettuce instead of bread). Wrapped up really warm and went for a cycle. I'll not bother monitoring my ride because it hardly seems worth it. Im not at risk of overdoing it this week. I felt strong for someone who was ill but not as strong as i had been hoping, before i got ill, that i would be. Im probably feeling well enough to ride the time trial tomorrow, ill take my bike out mid afternoon and try my changed position (seat very slightly higher, aerobar pads more central and i might widen my bars a la david millar). Im not sure how well i'll do given whats happened. Watched friends then the daily show, now im posting this. Im going to bed now though - I want to be well rested for tomorrow.
