DRINK! FECK! BIKE!
Training has been on going for a few weeks, nothing really to write home about apart from the last 7 days. I'm not sure if I was overdoing it a bit or just a little run down but I have missed a full weeks worth of training. Shock horror!
After a few innocent drinks (not the smoothie) one evening, I awoke the next day feeling like death. I'm not a big drinker but this felt more than a light hangover. One day off work and the whole weekend later I still felt like crap! I'm not sure what this is telling me... Should I not train as much? Never? Not drink as much? Probability? Or not be sick? Maybe?
Alcohol is a Poison... fact!
On reflection I think it was a mix of doing a little too much exercise, having a bit of a cold and drinking on an empty stomach. All lessons to be learnt at the school of novice triathlon training.
The time spent recovering wasn't totally futile, I was on the internet researching for food tips for exercise and training. I really am a super fun guy! I have worked out that I need to eat more and take in more calories. A situation I have never been in before. I have to watch what I eat to stay the same weight so loosing weight was new to me and a little disconcerting.
It's all carbohydrate boosting and creatine loading from now on. Pasta party!
ps. After, what feels like endless weeks of bidding on ebay I have finally got my bike. Woo Hoo! I can now take to the streets on this wheeled beast
