Ok this is one of this days which are unfortunately just going to suck – work was crazy with some list minute requests which meant I spent the whole day with my stomach in knots wondering if I could get it all done. The one thing I was looking fwd to was a free facial from this place down at Winsland House – to cut a long story short , that facial did not happen as this crapfest of a place INSISTED I must have my work pass with me in order to use my voucher. They “offered” to let me pay a $50 deposit that I would have to go back to reclaim once I brought my work pass, or to re-schedule the appointment altogether ( which took a month to bloody well make in the first place !). This place was worst than the Ministry of Manpower ! I offered them proof of my job with my business card – but nope , they just weren’t having it. Needless to say I gave them a piece of my mind - the whole episode was such a waste of time and I totally wasted the taxi fare to get there !!! I hate companies that are just completely inflexible – they needed the work pass just to CHECK that I hadnt been to their outlets in the last 6 months or bought any packages. HA HA HA – FAT BLOODY CHANCE OF THAT NOW MATE !

Yesterday was quite a fruitful training day with 1.5 hours in the bike with a decent rpm and average speed. I did have to reduce the resistance towards the last 40 minutes as I just starting to fade – I think the amount of carbs matters but thankfully managed to last the full 90 minutes. Ive decided to loosen the reigns on having carbs during the day just as long as I know my workouts are fruitful.
Today, Im in a dilemma – run , swim, run or swim ? I want to squeeze in at least 1 hour of running though I dont want to be exhausted tomorrow as I have loads of things to get to. I’ve realised that since starting cycling and swimming my appetite for running has reduced. Well ok, I was never that big a fan of running - I did it because it was a challenge to run. Ironically of all the 3 sports its actually my “base” but Ive been so reluctant to hit the treadmill or the outdoors recently that Im worried Im losing my ability to actually run….ho hum…
I need to be up at 4.30am ( yes you read that correctly ) were I will be volunteering at the OSIM Triathlon as a swim marshal , and by the looks of the schedule I wont be done til midday. Then its off to lector training at church , not to mention I need to pick up some things from the tailors – following by swim training with David at 7pm. I really wanted to squeeze in a 30 min run tomorrow but I dont it will be possible with all those things going on. Ahhh decisions decisions; if only there were more hours in the day !

Ok, so I did it. I signed up a while ago. I don’t know why and or what delusional state I was in, but I signed up for my first triathlon. Swim Bike Run has been tattooed across my forehead for the last month and Im realising just what a freaking lump of lard I really am…I’ve been surfing the net checking out other people training for the triladies event and I read their blogs with my mouth a-gapping wide. They run 22km on the weekend. For FUN. Inbetween all the other training they do. What is WRONG with you people ?!?
Ok no I kid, I dont mean to treat you freakishly – specially since Im a nutter to have signed up too but Im seriously feeling out of my league with these endurance sports junkies. But I guess for me that is part of the allure – what the fun in doing something that doesnt push you past your limits ? Where’s the challenge? Anyways here we go because…Triladies ( Sept something or other) here we come !!!
