A Fun Ride
The ride yesterday was great. I only went for a 35 minute minute cycle, but the feeling was wonderful. When I finished, I was out of breath, excited, and my legs felt a little wobbly - to be expected. It was just great. Andy and myself meant to go for a run afterwards, but he wanted to eat (it was already close to 19h00) and since the run was actually scheduled for today, we decided to rather give it a skip.
I got to bed at midnight (I'm going to be a little tired today!) and when I woke up this morning my legs felt completely dead. I didn't stretch and cool down properly, meaning that my legs got that strange stiffness that you sometimes get after a hard session.
I've rethought my goals for the next year. I've decided that I'd rather hope for an entry into the London Marathon, follow that up with Ironman UK and then in 2007 attempt Comrades. We're not planning a trip to South Africa next year, so rather than taking a week off without Andy, I'll rather stay and then we can plan a trip to SA in 2007.
I need something to drink. You all have a wonderful day now.
