Another saturday and another brick session :) Must admit I was not looking forward to getting in the water especially after the lighting and thunder storm last night. Not to mention a late night on Friday after going to the movies with mates, but I made the most of the time by stealing a small nap during the movie. Not the first time :0, soon I will be known as Nana and noone will want to go with me.
Somehow I managed to drag my butt out of bed and made it to the pool almost on time. We started out with a 600m time trail, unfortunately I jumped a lane to skip ahead but a slight tactical error as ended up coming in last place and then stayed at the back for the remainder of the swim session.
Thank goodness the biking was on the road rather than wind trainer in the hall. The team headed down to the Birkenhead Ferry terminal, where we completed hill repeats riding from the ferry building up to the shops and back. Coach and another cycling genuis were giving pointers on how to ride down hills at speed, who knew it could be so fun !!! almost made the ride back up the hill pleasurable. Managed to get the bike up to 65k without feeling like a bundle of nerves.
So managed to NOT fall off the bike, then go make an egg of myself by falling down some stairs at netball. What a *#@^% ! managed to bruise the knees of both legs and draw blood on the plams of both hands. Nothing serious! but stings like a buggar and can tell it will hurt during riding tomorrow. Sweet :(
Yes the cycling genius has sparked a little speed demon to come to life. Still if you are going to ride faster - best you know how to do it properly - sensibly and safely. Of course mastering the art of walking safely would be good too! You fell with a very heavy thud today, and then didn't move for a few seconds which was quite terrifying! More bruised ego than anything - but some impressive bruising and grazes will remind you that you are a mortal for a wee while.!!!
