Not so right

In my blog yesterday I said a couple of things that turned out to not be true. Firstly, I said one thing was for sure I was going to have plenty of sleep. Turns out not so much.

Secondly, I said that if there was even a hint of rain I was going to be straight on the trainer. Once again, not so correct.

Sleepwise I did everything right, headed to bed early etc. But I just plain slept badly. Around midnight I woke up thinking about the various things I had to get done today. Even though I knew it was a bad idea, I couldn't help it, my mind was fixated. Once that happened, game over, I just couldn't get back to sleep.

As for the riding part, that wasn't entirely due to bad judgement. My day was going to go a lot smoother today if I did my training ride on the way to work, rather than doing it on the trainer. So I was always a little biased towards getting on the road. It rained during the night, but once I was up this morning the roads didn't look that bad, more moist than wet, and the radar was pretty clear. So I convinced myself that heading out onto the road would be okay. To be fair, it mostly was. True the roads were further towards the wet end of the spectrum than I would have liked and I did get a little rained on, but it wasn't all that bad. I was toasty warm in my vest at least.

The riding was good though. It took me half the ride  to get going, but around the halfway mark I seemed to find my legs and from there the ride was a lot of fun. Still wet and slippery, but fun.

Tomorrow I have a bit of riding and a bit of running. Well actually tomorrow definitely will be on the trainer, whether the weather is wet or not, but I guess that still counts as riding.

Before that though I have some sleeping to do, and this time nothing is going to get in my way.

Nothing...
