Faster than the speed of light.... & Hever tmrw

 
hmm
 
back in the sub-3x10^8m/s speed world of sprint tri ; couldn't be bothered to get up for "20 mins easy bike" this morning. That's a bad sign.  But don't see that it is really going to make any difference and is too dull on a stationary bike in gym. You could argue that a 20 min easy run the day before a race doesn't make any difference & I usually do that but that is LESS BORING.  So what with everything else decided to have an extra hour in bed - then turned up at work in a really good mood so maybe was the right choice!
 
Need to think +ve for tmrw so enjoy the experience.  Concerned about how bike will perform though.  Check back tomorrow for the exciting conclusion! Then we can get on with the important business of MDS training.
 
Nutrition:
- ytday after eating pret sandwich for supper pre-grading had high heart rate about an hour later. not sure whether due to sandwich or nerves & missing target train.  I think was sandwich.
- Eggs, mushroom, tomato for bkfast today.  But hungry (or at least not "satiated") again within couple hours. 
- Large salad for lunch with a bit of a pause in middle to digest then 500ml water once finished.  Trouble normally with salad is don't get that "full up" feeling even though am not hungry after.  The large amount of water seems to help somewhat with that. 
- Another note from today is that 2xtea + 1xdecaf coffee in morning leave with elevated heart rate. Think is due to the heat ingested rather than caffeine or anything else
- & another another thing to note (not from today though) is if have had caffeine & then do hard exercise  - such as other day when did spin class in evening & had had caff coffee during day - get tightness across heart area, just as did during Comrades with all those caffeinated gus.  Nicht gut.
