Limousin Training
Well, I'm back from France. Picture below shows me training for the heat in Rhodes (wearing a number of layers) on the one warm day (out of 6) that we got in France. The rest of the time the weather was cold and damp which wasn't great from an acclimatisation point of view.
That said however, I got some decent, hard training done, though this may have been offset by the number of croissants and baguettes I consumed!
Got today to get everything packed for Rhodes because I'm off tomorrow. If I can I'll spot a cyber-cafe and update whilst the Games is going on.
Hey up! And so to my second blog that will hopefully chart my route to glory in the Island Games triathlon on 6 July 2007. This picture shows how I mentally prepare myself each morning for the forthcoming day. It’s a form of ancient Chinese meditation that addresses one’s wholeness with the world and therefore one’s balance in life, which, after all, is the key to success.
Defining "glory": Whether I win a medal or not, glory for me will be crossing the line knowing I could not have gone a second faster.
