Today has been just one of those days when you have to say....well, you understand. The fact that we are on a recovery week is becoming obvious. Foul moods, low motivation and cranky paddy pants down syndrome are prevalent. Today, Napoleon and myself we attempting the key swim. 900 yards in the phrase "f#@k it, shall we just go and get a coffee?!" The response was an emphatic "yes". There are just the training when you are not in the right frame of mind. Better to let the workout go and revisit it again another day. There is even a professional triathlete who retired due to burn out and adding to her family. She is now out of retirement, but only trains if her mood is right. I can see myself adopting that mentality if the future. It's not a case of skipping a workout when you are tired. What it specifically refers to is one's mood. "Am i in the right frame of mind to complete this workout?" Answering that question ensures that the most can be gained by your forthcoming workout.
Tomorrow brings the long ride workout starting nice and early. Bring it on! Mood adjusted!
Good luck to us all!
