Drenched

I didn't get into the office till 11am this morning due to the jet lag. I seemed a bit "fuzzy" today so when I got home decided as it was dry to head out on the bike as I need to get the mileage up for the half ironman in a months time. By the time I had got my gear together a light drizzle had started. When I got off my bike I was soaked right through. 2 days before that would have been with sweat but this was good old Scottish rain - where's our summer? It was good to be back on the bike and I could feel the benefit of my running training while on holiday. I did a 16 mile time trial I.e. Was flat out on the bike. The road conditions were a bit dodgy and braking wasn't easy. Add to this glasses that I couldn't see through and 30 mph on "B roads" can be dangerous especially when there is oncoming traffic! The hard work has started.
