aw sh-t

Where have I been? What a week...
So last Thursday I went to swim and my achilles was hurting me. I took it easy, and left early. Friday I saw my physio and he told me to take some time off. Saturday was raining cats and dogs so I didn't go to the workout. Sunday was very lazy too.

Since then I've been biking. It finally stopped raining so since Monday, I've ridden about 300km this week so far. I went to swim last night - I felt mediocre. At one point my calf/gastroc felt a bit tight but my times were ok. Today I'm finally exhausted. Hopefully I'll get some easy spinning in. My rpms are dropping.

Oh right. The sh-t. So I went over the icebreaker yesterday and the may flies were out. Not in full force (I've seen worse) but bad enough that my shorts, shirt, helmet & hair were covered in them. As I turned around at the end of the stretch, I sat up to drink some water and... SPLAT! It felt like someone hit me with a water balloon. But no... I turn over my wrist and there it is... white bird crap. On my glove, on my top tube, on my water bottle (thank g-d I was carrying my nalgene) ... EVERYWHERE... damn birds...
