Ahhhh...the case of the missing blog post! We may never know where it went, what it saw or who it talked to...
Anyway, I have some new things:
- new training paddles for swimming. These go on my hands and supposedly make me strong and more responsive to the water. Or something. So far they mostly just make me clatter into the end of the pool when I forget to stop (which still happends quite regularly).
- aerobars - these are borrowed from Eyk, who no doubt has less trouble using them than me. They are twitchy little suckers...slightest tremor in my elbow and I am wobbling all over the road. And it turns out I have surprisingly tremorly elbows.
- new pedals- these give me a wider base and more stability through my feet, and, more importantly, they look the part...see above in terms of wobbling all over the road when trying to get back in the sodding things....
- new shoes - they are light and clean and wonderful. They make me feel so fast I was very surprised to find I was in fact, not, any faster....
So I am starting to at least look like I am taking this campaign seriously. Practise will help and hopefully in time I will swim into the end of the pool less (turn girl turn!), and wobble on the bike less too! I have another half marathon on the horizon so I guess I'd better start thinking about running!
Until next week, everyone just be happy being who you are!
love
