Went to Fistral in morning for 'swim' (more of a bob around). Was conscious of getting in the way of throngs of surfers in this morning, particularly when coming back into shore. One swept across a wave in front of head. (It was just as well roles were not reversed as I would no doubt have hit him - as royzy will testify! Unlikely, scenario the more I think of it as he was surfing across the wave, something I failed to do in 2 + years - as Si, my surfing Yoda will testify!)
Got stuff ready for Perranporth Triathlon using checklist I made on blog on preparing for Newquay: good idea. Have to get myself mentally ready now.
I am going to sit down and watch/ listen to some Metallica recorded from TV last night in the hope that this will really fire me up for Perranporth Triathlon. Target is finish in top half which is going to be a real challenge as I note I finished 162 (out of 227 starters) last year in 2:28:13. To have finished in top 1/2 I would have to had to have done a time of 2:17:40. In football speak, I will have to give it 110%!
Royzy and Lisa, and maybe Si, may be coming to watch which will be really nice. (but do not feel pressured if you happen to read this!)
James H rang to say he had been ill in the week and would not be taking part - so just me v the clock!
P.S. Have not been a fan of Metallica previously but in the spirit of embracing all things 'norse' I recorded their appearance on Jools Holland Live and enjoyed it (however, now having researched the band a bit I realise they are from California not Scandinavia as I had thought - shows how little I know about music).
