After a forced rest day yesterday due to work, I thought I would be raring to go and take on the day but the rainy Auckland weather had different ideas. I shouldn't complain as we had a very mild Winter which had me training consistently and feeling ready to take my training to the next level with three months to go until IronMan New Zealand.

Not sure what the rainy weather has over me, but there is something about heading out into the crappy weather that has me wanting to hibernate, especially on a Saturday. The training can't stop just for a little rain and its the main reason I have indoor bike trainers, spin bikes and gym memberships. To tell you the truth, seeing my name slip down the Exhaust leaderboard as well, does give me some extra incentive to get out and training. No need to push my self out on wet roads on my bike, so opted for a spin bike instead. Wanting to get out of the house, I did opt for a run in the rain, which did help a little.

I felt like my run needed something extra after a full day off yesterday and decided I would take my leg weights out with my run. Not sure if that was the best idea as it left my lower legs cramping after the first kilometer, but hopefully this will make me stronger both mentally and physically heading into my Summer of training. The run went pretty well considering and was only a 7km post spin bike run, with the leg weights being the perfect simulation for the way my legs will feel at the later stages of my up coming races(Can't Wait!!)
