It is the week of the XXX Olympiad in London. It has been a very proud week to be British. Yet, it also makes one that lives out the country a little homesick. How I would love to be at home right now, with the opportunity to get to an event. In particular the Triathlon event in Hyde Park.
However, without that opportunity, we headed out this morning for a swim in Cedar Lake. It was another glorious morning for such a thing. Although the early mornings are sometimes reluctant in bearing their qualities, once you get swimming, the water is fantastic. They have cut back the weeds in the lake as well, which makes the experience less stressful. Ever since being stung by the jelly fish during Ironman Nice, I have found my courage lacking in the open water. Hoping that my continued practice of yoga will help with that. There is no doubt that the qualities which are promoted during yoga practice that are then subsequently put to use in a stressful environment are very helpful. This is particularly useful in large open water without a leg to stand on.
The training is certainly more relaxing and enjoyable now that the main event is out the way. There is now more time for enjoyment of being out there and the opportunities to push myself a little, albeit smartly.
This week provides a good opportunity to accomplish a good bit of training with a concert thrown in for good measure.
Good luck to us all!
