The programme today was a brick session. 60 minutes on the bike then a 30 minute run. Since the only bike I have access to here in Singapore are the ones in the gym, so the gym it was with the added benefit of being able to watch the second half of "Cop-land" a Sly Stallone film where he didn't show his muscles!! Another advantage of indoor biking is the ability to read emails.Whilst on the bike I received an email response from a friend in Hong Kong. David's kind words had an amazing effect on my spirits and I smiled throughout the remainder of the bike session (despite a worrying pain in my left knee). This elated feeling continued as I stepped the 5 metres to the running machine, then 30 minutes and I was done. Then into the pool for an unscheduled swim. 60 minutes and 3k later I was finished and ahead of the game. A couple of things I have learned over the past few weeks are: If you have the opportunity to get ahead, take it, with the unpredictability of the week I have found it to be the best policy and that people are the best resource in the long weeks of training, their kindness and encouragement will see you through.
