So what's with spiders?

Hi Everyone

Sorry, it has been a wee while, but don't worry, I haven't been idle.  Actually, who am I kidding?  I have been gloriously, luxuriously BONE IDLE and I love it!   Oh, happy new year and all that.  How great is 2012?  I'm loving it, naturally.   I had a quick summer cold last week and missed a few days training, but I had a swim and a bike ride today so hopefully I've fully recovered, building up to a BIG day training on Saturday. 

Now, about these spiders.  Is this the year they make their move? I found two large leggy specimens apparently building a fortress underneath a bucket in the boot of the Mazda.  And then, to my abject horror (is abject a word or did I just make that up?) one of their cohorts had built a web on my shiny new bike!  How RUDE!  But wait for it, you know the bone idle bit?   I was taking a strategic training break between swimming and cycling (well, I was reading my book in the sun) and a very small and incredibly audacious spider started building its web on me.  ON ME!  Between my knee and my shoulder to be precise.  I am not that idle.  The spider was clearly just incredibly opportunistic.  I've got two words for you spiders:  Chemical Warfare.  I've got it, let's see yours...

Anyway, training is so much fun when it isn't punctuated by long spells of work!

Until next time, don't ever underestimate how much I love custard.
