Decide.

I am having one of those weeks, where no matter how hard you try, the current is flowing the other way. Training wise, I am struggling. I am doing the kms, but the legs just don't want to go round. Rest, recover, train hard, train harder????

All I know, is I am doing some hard kms, and the legs know it. The BONT shoes are still a uncertain product. I can be rolling along and they feel great, then in a km or so they are killing my feet. Its cyclitic.

Big decisions in the month of July. Do I continue to get up early to train, which means going to bed early so I can sleep. Or do I try and train in the afternoons after work, and then stay up for watching the tour......might just flip a coin.

Oh, this morning sucked. Not just because the paceline session at 6am, made my legs go from well done to charcoal, but for something that happened once I got to work.

Like all of you that commute, we have to battle the morning shower. I arrived at work, got all my clothes organised and made the cold walk down to the showers. It was half way through enjoying the hot water, that I realised that the empty hook that should have had my towel on it, was in-fact still an empty hook.

I poked my head out to see if there was any 'spare' towel around, and there was nothing. The shower block is like a prison cell, not even a hand dryer, hand towel or toilet paper around.

So you stand there, and look at the clothes on the floor to decide which best item will assist you to dry yourself off.

Do you go with your knicks/jersey?

Not really, they stink and are already wet.

Do you go your business shirt/slacks?

Again, not really an option, as its pretty hard to have a serious meeting without pants on, or just bare chested.

Then you look at your underware and socks?

Well, the Socks won't soak up much......
