Warning - excessive training may have side effects...

Well, its not like I am training excessively, but perhaps more than I might have in a past life.  To be honest, I've always been a bit absent minded, so whether or not this is a real side effect, or just my perception, remains to be seen.
But I started a list to review some of my less sapient moments:

• Twice I've tried to open the security gate at work with my garage door open.  It hardly ever even opens my garage so heaven knows why I thought it would get me in the gate.  It was only after I had exercised some of my choicer cuss words that I realised the mistake was my own rather than a technological failure.
• I tried to feed my cats frozen veggies, and then put them away in the cupboard.  Not even the fridge, let alone the freezer.  The long-suffering felines have lived to tell the tale.
• I tried to leave the house without pants.  I was halfway through getting dressed and sort of lost track.  Fortunately I only made it as far as the Mazda before I finally figured out why I was able to admire my undies in such detail.
• I think we won't mention the clean washing in the spare room/open curtains/getting dressed in a hurry scenario (sorry neighbours, but I am too ashamed to come and meet you.  Please sell your house and leave.).
• I tried to unlock my bike with my electronic car key.  Funnily enough, it didn't work.  My bike has aerobars and lots of carbon fibre, but it doesn't have door locks to make a satisfying clunk when asked.
• I have had too many abortive grocery shopping trips - usually I forget tissues which leaves me mystified as to why I keep washing the sodding things.
• I left my carpool buddy at work.  On a Friday afternoon.  I still feel so guilty about it.  But I have only done it once.  That he has mentioned ...

Otherwise everything is going great,  I've had to discover what it means to train in my sub-threshold zone this week - due to my short attention span (as described above), this involves lots of notes scrawled on my hand or up my arm so that I can remember what I am supposed to be doing!

Four and a half weeks to go!

Until next time, don't mix up your anti-chafe gel with your carbohydrate gel - you'll end up with a sore tummy and the worst chafing ever!
