A disappointing day of training today. As I have mentioned previously I have a race coming up next weekend that I have been preparing for for a while. The training has been going pretty well and while I am not exactly racing for sheep stations, I feel the training has been going okay and I have been seeing acceptable progression.

This weekend was planned to be my big final block of training. The plan is to taper next week and to be race ready by Saturday. However, today just never really went to plan. I had a terrible sleep last night and as a result I have been exhausted all day today. I got some training done, but it wasn't what I would have called Plan A. Frustrating.

I should be able to train go plan tomorrow and recover the weekend to a certain extent, but today's effort is still annoying.

At times like this it is important to put the disappointment of today behind me, get some rest and focus on tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day, and as I have said, there should be plenty of opportunity for some quality training.

Time to retreat, regroup and refocus, making sure the annoyances of today don't derail tomorrow.

As they say, tomorrow is a new day.
