Train smart

I decided, after a ridiculously hard day at the 'office' yesterday that involved making brutal use of a 16lb sledge hammer for 8 hours, a 125 min cycle (involving a ten mile time trial) and a 16 min hard run (straight off the bike), to follow some good advice and take today off training.

Sometimes you've got to train smart not hard, even if it goes against what your gut or guilt says. It's probably not a coincidence that my HR was elevated by 5 or so BPM this morning.

The reason why my time trial yesterday was 2 minutes slower than last week is because I rather stupidly went the wrong way! Won't make that mistake again.
