The outcome was not pretty!!
It was a frustrating morning of training.... I was more annoyed at myself...for whatever reason my organisation of my nutrition was all out!
To further explain:
- Friday night went to get everything ready and realised that I had NO gels...hmmmm.....no problems I would supplement these with bananas....not the best thing...they are good to have as a PART of your nutrition but not ALL of your nutrition.
- To go with that I failed to regularly eat throughout the 3hr ride....only eating 3/4 of a banana for the 3hr ride...no other food! Just sports drink!
- To go with this was a failure to have anything for breakfast.....big mistake...something I am always OCD about.
- The OCD was not there for me this morning.
- Therefore the run after the cylce was an ABSOLUTE right off....started off ok...but ended up disastrously (Stomach cramps....argh!).....didn't finish the run.
- At one stage along the board walk I'm sure it would have been humorous...there was that mental argument with the arch enemy....was it really a stomach cramp/nutritional stuff up or was it the arch enemy (the little voice in my head). I stopped running....then started again...turned around...stopped...started walking again back towards the start...then had a mental argument with myself....turned around again...started running...stopped running...turned around...had a drink of water...started running again....stopped....then made the decision to shuffle back and call it quits!
- Oh well....you learn from these stuff ups!
I think what it did bring home to me is that there is nothing wrong with being organised....may I am sometimes a bit over the top...but oh well!
