Ironman Prep Day 82 Jan 5

Another late rise from bed this morning, and another great day in Hahei. We went to Whitianga on the ferry and as usually this time of year, it was very busy. I was getting a bit itchy as I haven't done any form of training now for quite a few days, so I am definitely going for a bike ride and testing both my knee and gears out later.

Jane and I went out cycling on the scary back roads between Hahei and State Highway 25 to Whitianga. Holiday traffic and dopey drivers, narrow roads are not a great combination. I had a bit of run in with an impatient driver who just had to pass both of us to rush 50 metres just to stop at a queue of traffic almost forcing us off the roads. Jane was not happy with me and I was not happy either but I did ride it out of my system.

Once I got back to our cabin I was much more relaxed and took one of our friends kayaks to the beach to escort Jane in the water. I thought the plan was to escort each other, and once again the plan got changed and I had a small outburst of frustration. In the past I would have carried the bad mood around for hours and hours but I do let these minor things go a lot better. I am running low on my pills and need to get my repeat as soon as I get home.

I ended the day with the BUSTER ice cream from the local Ice Cream Palour, ONLY $6!!!!
