T is for tension

Have decided to do 11 more blogs while I think seriously about whether I am ever going to ready to do the the Norseman. This has been brought on by the realisation yesterday:

  1. I have not got any accommodation or travel or anything that could be titled 'logistics' for the event sorted
  2. I am still staying at work until 7pm AND not going swimming (see below)
  3. Even my cycling is lessening...
  4. I am no longer confident in my ability to keep up with Perranporth Posse - and have consequently avoided going out with them since the New Year
  5. I have swum a total of 20 lengths in 2009
  6. I can see the whole 'event' being a source of tension between Julie and I in the lead up, the day and for months, maybe even years after...

Had a very enjoyable cycle with Tom this morning - set off with Simon M but he and group of 3 went off towards Zennor as I headed for Lanner. Tom and I did Lanner to Godrevy, where wee stopped for lovely coffee and cake at Godrevy cafe and meet with Tom's wife and baby girl, before heading back.

Felt better afterwards than I had before.

Your wee stopped?

I'm still about by the way, I keep planning to ring you.

Haven't seen you or Julie since New Year!

Can't wait until these next 2 weeks are over, I've got an essay and 2 other projects to hand in.

Glad to hear you are well. Feel free to ring and/or pop across whenever. Good luck with essay and other projects. LOL

Julie sends love

P.S. 'wee stopped' is a typo (well spotted!) as opposed to a sign of increased tension...

Confidence is key, you could perhaps play a tape to yourself when sleeping, repeating the words 'I am in the prime of my life, I will win the Norseman' headphones would be a good idea, as you do not want Julie to get any ideas about entering this competition.
