I am so very tired today. I had a massive boxing session last night and my body is exhausted. We had an odd number of people last night and to save the instructor padding up I offered to go on the bag as it's easier if she can focus on counting and calling out the sets. It was great as I didn't get a rest as I could box the whole time and not have to wear the pads. About 10 minutes from the end my shoulders were cactus and I could box no more so to keep my heartrate up I did burpees and squat jumps ( I was feeling a little crazy). Nearly 400 calories all up, not a bad little effort.
This week, we have been given the task of doing a 'triathlon'. The advanced section involves a 1 km swim, 30 km bike ride and 8 km run. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics. The run is not an issue but the bike ride and swim are proving to be a little more difficult. Surprise, surprise, the local pool doesn't open until 9 am on the weekends and most of the bike tracks are only a few km long and I really don't fancy doing several laps to get to 30 km. I had originally thought I could ride to the pool (which is about 10 - 15 km round trip), do the swim and then ride home but I don't want to ride the streets while there is a lot of traffic around plus Missy T has soccer on Saturday morning which means I have to get up early to get it done. The other option is to do a DVD and then get on the spin bike but I would much rather get outside for my ride. Another option is to do this thing on Sunday. It is all starting to get too hard.

Aaaah triathlon is my worst nightmare Michelle. Many people have asked when I'll do one and my answer is an emphatic NEVER. Yes I can run and yes if I got onto a bike again I'd probably reacquaint myself quickly with riding but swimming (especially in the ocean ) aint never gonna happen. I have crap technique and no realistic opportunity to improve it, nor the inclination to. Triathlons suck!
