(Yet Another) Road Trip Day 3 6k and Sunbed day

Yesterday evening's Aerobic session at the Volcano, under a blistering sun completely killed me and I found myself seeking a shady area for the stretch and relax class.

Now a "stretch and relax" class in the shade just doesn't have the same attraction as a "stretch and relax" class in the sun and I resolved that today would be a keep my face out of the sun day.

Of course I still had to swim and what a brilliant excuse not to have to swim backstroke!

The wind in the new pool was truly blowing a hooly! In the main set wearing a pair of paddles pinched from sports booking it was like having sails as you went up the pool but oh dear coming back into that head wind! and the chop.

I therefore resolved that in between sessions all I was going to do today was to recharge on a sunbed.

Teenage Triathlete went off to do an unfeasible amount of classes which started with Body Combat or something equally as tortuous, ( I'd bailed after 20 minutes in this class on Friday) and ended with an egg throwing competition. (was it a chucky egg?)

Although it did involve her having to catch it as well,  things were all white until the distance 16 metres when her team mate bowled a complete yorker (or should that be yoker) with the eggspected results.

After a few hours on the sun bed catching up with the blogging, I made it to the pool for a very leisurely dip. Not very much effort there and a fair bit of garbage yardage, but my 6k today salvaged a green week.
