Recovery

Following yesterday's duathlon I was in the pool at 7am but only for a recovery session i.e. trying to stop the legs from cramping.  As we enter the pool there are kids that have been training since 5.30am!  These are the future commonwealth and olympic stars and some stay on longer while their coaches bark out instructions and shout times at them.  They look extremely fit, they are extremely fast but will only get away with wearing those "budgie smugglers" (speedo's - see Fosters advert for an explanation) for a few more years!  It's great to see that not all teenagers have long lies in the morning and spend too much time in front of the telly or play station.  Day off tomorrow as I prepare for the coached Wednesday swim session which will be a killer.
