so that happened...

I definitely had trained myself into a good overreached state by the time I left California. What I didn't take into account was that the 2-day travel back home acompanied with the 10 hour time-difference was going to be very hard. Thus when I got home my body completely shut down and decided to take a 2-week summer holiday.

So unable to do any good training for two weeks I feel like starting from scratch again. And to not make things too easy I have some sort of knee-hurt on my left and my left ankle that has been hurting on/off for a couple months is again giving trouble.

But anyways I have about 10 days to try get ready for half-ironman nationals and it seems like I'm only going to ride for training. I still havent received my wetsuit that has been doing its own tour de Scandinavia for a few months so I can't swim either...or I could but getting iced after 5 mins in very cold water isn't that much fun.

It's good to sometimes have a bit of a low period though as the season is still long and there's a nice rae waiting at the end!
