Preparing for the Singapore Triathlon: Week 3 Day 2

We are well into the swing of normal routine at the moment.  The whole family up at 6:00 am with the girls getting ready for school.

This morning I kicked off with a breakfast of sausages, a fried egg and Chick pea salad.

Off to the pool by bike where I swam 2 km easy free style, concentrating on bilateral breathing and getting lots of extension with the lead hand in the water.

I got quickly back on the bike and finished the ride to work.

Lunch consisted of roast chicken with rosemary with a side of stir fried vegetables and a small bowl of rice.

It was my plan to join work colleagues for a game of soccer this evening.  However, I got a late call up to attend an information evening at my daughter's school.  My elder daughter is heading in to her final 2 years of high school so there is much to be considered about subject choice.

So just after 5:30 I headed off to Larong Chuan on the bike.  I took Farrer Road North.  It was a hair raising experience at that time of day, though I did get in a few km of quite sharp work as fear drove me on ahead of the traffic.  None the worse for wear, though feeling kinda older, I stopped for a snack of chicken curry in puff pastry at the local service station, washed down with a small bottle of iced coffee. Not ideal, but it hit the spot.

After the meeting at school, I packed the bike into the back of a cab and headed home, where I had a ham and salad sandwich, lots of iced water and made my way to bed.  A good day with a 2 km swim and 25 km on the bike, and still I breath.
