I don’t seem to be blogging that much at the moment (stating the obvious). I am not sure why, it just feels as if I don’t have all that much to say – or don’t know what to say. I am going to start with how my weekend went.
It started off great! My sister and I did a sea swim on Friday, the sea was rough (ish) but clear and awesome. For some reason I prefer it with swell and chop as opposed to flat? Yes, I know – not normal.
It all went a bit pear shaped training wise from that point in.
I was supposed to do a Masters and Ladies cycle race on the Saturday morning. My alarm was set for 4:45, however Little OL decided at 4:20 that she would wake up. After trying to get her back to sleep for the next 40 minutes I woke Mr OL to watch her. I needed to get to the start of the race – which I missed anyway!
My group starts before most of the other groups (yes, I am that slow), and I was late – only by a minute or so but still. On the way past one of my friends I jokingly said to her “I think I should give up now and go back to bed” I did not know how right I was….
After cycling for only 1.6kms I got a puncture. As I was busy changing it all the rest of the groups passed me. I changed the tire and cycled the whole 1.6km back to my car and went home. I am a firm believer that the universe looks after me. I maybe did not listen to the first 2 warnings that for some reason I should not be cycling that day, but by the time it came to warning 3 I was all ears.
The rest of my weekend was great – Little OL is just getting cuter and cuter!

A good lesson learned. Listen to the universe
