Preparing for the Singapore Triahlon: Day 6

There is no question that today I need to get on the road and get some running into my training program.  So far this week I have only been able to get a small amount or running in during the foot ball game I played on Tuesday night.  This probably didn't amount to 1 km.  So today I have to pull on the running shoes and get on my way.

Breakfast consisted of 2 rashes of Bacon, 2 eggs, half a tomato and some chick pea salad, washed down with coffee.  I supplemented this with a Vitamin C and zinc tablet for good measure.

Because of commitments with the family, I don't get out on the road as much as I should, but I try to work them in as part of my commute to the office, just as I do with the bike rides during the week.  So this morning I commuted to work on foot.  The distance gate to gate is 8.8 km.  The running in Singapore is nice and flat.  The challenge is the heat.  Carrying a back pack with work clothes complicates that matter as the back pack blocks off a large area of my back which is ideally available for heat exchange.  Fortunately the weather in Singapore this week has been particularly mild.  Even so, I knocked off 2 cans of 100 Plus when I got into the office and was still trying to rehydrate myself with water until well after midday.

For morning tea I had an egg white, cheese and roasted capsicum wrap and a cappuccino from Starbucks.

Lunch consisted of green chicken Curry with rice and stir-fry vegetables

Dinner was spinach and feta triangles and a couple of glasses of vino, red and white.

The weekend is where I plan to get in some distance on the bike and running.
