Its not often I make the right decision but tonight I most definitely did!
I had planned to go running with the Tri Club at 7pm this evening but when I was out walking the dog at 5pm the paths very really slippy and covered with sleet.
I was umming and arring trying to decide whether to go with the Tri Club or stay at home and go on the Treadmill or Turbo trainer!
The forecast didn't look good so I made the decision to go on the Turbo with the hope I might get an outside run in later in the week.
So at 6pm I disappeared into the garage with Coach Troy from Spinervals for a 50 minute "On the road" Autumn country training ride!
The Turbo trainer doesn't usually do it for me but I really enjoyed the session and the 50 minutes flew by! I really felt like I had been out on a proper ride and I managed to cover 15.44 miles which is an incredibly fast pace for me! Its so much easier when you don't have potholes, cars and the elements to contend with!
When I emerged from the garage feeling chuffed with myself at around 7pm (tri club start time!) the ground was deep with sleet and it was still coming down at a mighty rate!
I felt extremely smug that I wasn't out in it!
Workout 2/6 for this weeks Jantastic Goal!
I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!
