Was supposed to swim at the lake this morning.
It is something I enjoy doing and it really wakes me up.
But this morning my wife needed the car but last night I pledged that would not deter me and set my alarm for 5.50am and packed my paniers for a nice bike ride to Cassington ready for the 6.45am start.
Thing was that when my alarm went off the realisation that I was about to do a 10 mile bike ride, 1,500km swim and then a 6 mile bike ride before starting work at 8am sunk in.
I turned the alarm off and tried to get back to sleep.
But then the guilt kicked in so I got up and cycled to Westminster pool in Botley so i could at least do some swimming.
I arrived there at 7.10am - some 20 minutes before it was due to open. Admitting defeat I sloped off and was at my desk for 7.25am.
Then I went running and did a truly awful time at the University Parks as my legs are still suffering from Sunday and Tuesday's exertions.
Still, all good fun.
