"Day Two"

Got my little swim in, and it felt okay.  It's evening now however, and I can tell that I still have some recovering to do.  I think lack of sleep is a big part of the problem.  One day at a time!

My next workout will depend entirely on the weather.  It needs to be a bike ride of at least 60 kms, but probably 90 would be better.  I will try tomorrow if the skies look clear enough, and the distance will be determined entirely by how I feel.

Other than my swim today I generally worked on trip preparations.  I don't know if I told you or not, but we bought another motorhome.  Of course along with the motorhome itself, all the contents that we had accumulated over the years also went up in smoke, so Roo and I are gradually rebuilding out little escape world. Dishes, blankets, towels, games, lawn chairs etc.  It is an advantage having done it all once before because we won't waste money on the wrong things, and as a matter of fact we are stocking it primarily from our own cupboards, and from the local thrift shops.

As to the motorhome itself, we really like it a lot.  Again, being more experienced, we knew what we were doing this time. I also gotta tell you that the fantastic people at Forest City Motorhomes came through big time.  Not just did we get a great deal, but they helped us with the insurance company on the vaporized one.  Thanks Rick and Gary!!

And that's it.  I hope to have a good nights sleep, and continue my progress towards Ironman tomorrow.  I hope you sleep well, as well.

swim, 1300 metres
