Had an awful nightās sleep last night. Firstly just lay there until almost 2am before i finally drifted off. Brain was buzzing like iād had 10 cups of coffee for no good reason. Then woke up constantly from about 5am!
Decided at 6.30 that i needed to quieten my head, so just grabbed my running kit and head off for a nice and easy loop around the town. Really helped. Need to do that more often and get up early again.

No CBA since the start of the year. There is a difference between not training because I donāt feel great and CBA becauseā¦

Iāve done this sport off and on for decades.
Today Iām really keen to race, this time last year I was getting huge and looking at other challenges.,I had zero interest in tri.
I canāt think of anyone who has thrown them self into the sport trained so much and achieved very near to the max possible for that individual as you.
In my opinion itās hard to keep this going for years and years, Iāve no doubt a very few do, but most donāt .
Iām sure your mojo will return as you still have more to give, get well soon and do what feels natural ( a challenge you really fancy can sometimes help)

Post illness, Iām now getting back in the groove a bit. Iāve got to make a decision this week: go riding on Sunday or go clubbing Saturday night

Thanks. I donār exactly feel that I have lost my mojo. I am still looking forward to racing this season, however, I have lost the laser focus on Ironman and the desire to train hard to be at the top of my AG
Last year was a very long season, I started early, maximising the opportunity of gardening leave early on in the year. September was tough staying focused all the way to Kona. At the moment, I am happy keeping things ticking over, at some point I may focus some more

No training yet today but Iāve rejoined Zwift and checked everything is connected. Might have a spin later. I think the last time I turned a pedal was back in October!

Right bit of a back story.
6 weeks ago a prisoner ( who gets himself very fit from time to time but is quite mad, huge PD issues) asked me to do a fitness event in the prison on the 26 th Jan, despite it having 200 tuck jumps and 200 burpees in it I agreed.
Iāve kind of done a few sessions weāre the 10 exercises have got steadily easier ( except burpees) and was ready to have a go, in the mean time DG has had a complete mental break down, didnāt eat for 6 days one week and started vaping !
Today I did it anyway, not in the prison but a double session with PT, who was brill.
Target was sub 2 hours, fastest recorded time to date was 1:51, but that will have been beaten by one of the 42? Convicts having a go today.
Dossed the row and run and went ballistic just to get to the burpeesā¦ I was I a dark place but managed 1:45:09.
It was truely awfulā¦ I love this shit !
