Monday is rest day, and very welcome. I am feeling good despite still having a cold, hopefully I am over the worst and that it is on its way out. (Or is this wishful thinking because I am due to swim first thing in the morning?) I have also had an “ironman free evening” which has also contributed to my restfulness. An old friend from college (also a guitarist) came round and we played and sang a few songs and generally had a laugh. I didn’t mention the ironman to him and it felt good to not think or talk about it for a while and to just enjoy the moment. Perhaps to keep some perspective in future I could ensure that rest days are exactly that, and not only stop exercising on that day but also thinking, reading, scheming and planning, exercise and triathlon . Maybe this mental as well as physical rest will help. .......Who knows but it is worth a try.
