Wednesday I raced at the Inter Services standard distance triathlon (see below) so a day of rest would be well deserved on Thursday. Or so you would think. Instead, I had arranged to do my fitness test followed by a "friendly" game of unihoc. Unsurprisingly, I didn't record a PB on the fitness test and only managed 11.10; my legs were feeling a bit leaden and tired. I did manage 52 press ups and 53 sit ups though, which I think is OK for a 44 year old. The unihoc game was great fun, but after 40 minutes I was absolutely knackered and dripping with sweat. Am very tired now and will have a rest day tomorrow. I'm working Saturday but should have time for a long run first thing in the morning and will hopefully get a long ride out on Sunday. With Aberfeldy my next race on 16 Aug it's all on the road bike now, and I need to find some hills as well.
Train smart folks.

I like the irony. A post like that finishing with "train smart". Sags will be signing off with "take it easy" next!
That is a tough day following a race T Man. What is all this unihoc rubbish!! NEVER EVER do any other sport than triathlon! It is bound to leave you sore for days after!
