It's been a busy month or two but I'm not sure I've actually done anything.

Rode the Etape du Dales - A long day out.
1 week in Lanzarote - holiday/training
Accepted a new job
Got made redundant
Bought a shiny carbon disc wheel........ thank you aviva
Looked at new kitchens........ thank you aviva
Had 4 weeks garden leave........ thank you aviva
Left the garden well alone........ thank Mrs H

It's been chaos!

I intended to live the pro lifestyle. Pro-athlete, not streetwalker!
More training than you can shake a stick at, plus plenty of rest to accommodate the increase in training. In reality I don't believe many pro-athletes get their partners dinner ready for them, teak-oil the garden furniture or wash/wax the cars. Even so, It's been nice to have some down time. This has actually left me looking forward to my new job. Perhaps this wouldn’t be the case if it was simply returning to the old job. Who's to say?

The big push is on for the Cleveland Steelman. This will be my first run out at "middle" or "70.3" distance. After a 2 hour bike and 90 minute run last Monday I do feel ready for the challenge. Then its fine tuning for Antwerp in August.

Gotta go, it's a rest day but the shower isn't going to replace its own silicone sealant and the car isn't going to wash itself now is it?
