It's been a relatively strange few weeks in the land of the boppers. My head feels like it might explode with everything I've had to do and try to fit in training too. Well, maybe the training didn't fit in that perfectly. It got scattered between travelling and generally I'm starting to feel a little like my car has become my home. I did manage to spend 2 weeks at home, but at this point it feels like a distant memory that will in due time become faded.
With all that in mind, I don't expect Outlaw to be the high point in my year, but we'll see how it goes. 3 months of unstructured training cannot be good in any way shape or form. I'm already looking past the day – towards something else to do once 08/08 has come and gone. I'm stuck with two choices: Nottingham Triathlon and Hever Castle Triathlon. One of them is local, one of them very much a race that will require travel. One of them is flat as can be, the other one including (from what I hear) some nasty hills.
Then there's the time to prepare. Nottingham is less than a month away and there's a good 2 months between now and the Hever Castle Triathlon.
The option to do both is still there, but we'll have to see.
For now, I'm in Wales, enjoying the quiet and at the same time, working nice and hard.

I’ve wondered how you fit training into your work schedule (or the other way around). It *is* hard and one does what one can, sacrificing time with loved ones along the way. I still admire you though – it takes a lot of commitment and discipline to stick with it!
