Strange headline I'm sure but as I ran my eight mile route over Boar's Hill this morning, all I could hear in my head was Fergal Sharkey belting out Here Comes the Summer.
The weather is terrific - blazing sunshine, not much in the way of wind and the ground is rapidly drying out.
It's one of those days when it is very difficult not to run with a stupid grin on your face.
My legs are sore as I have been stepping up with bike work but even that couldn't ruin things for me.
I have also invested (£3.99) in elasticated laces.
I was unsure of the value in such things designed to reduce time in transition (the area where you change from swim to bike and bike to run).
But then a highly talented chum - the Tri Chick - told me I could save 30 to 60 seconds by not having to tie my laces.
"Big deal" I replied but then she pointed out that I have spent a long time and a lot of hard work trying to cut a minute off my swim time so why not in transition too.
Can't argue with that can you?
