Thigh bursting weekend

My left foot doesn't hurt badly any more.

My thighs, however, are protesting loudly after completing my request for them to work overtime at the weekend. This will pass in a day or two, and I'll be left with "Super Hero" quads. It was definitely worth it, though, despite hardly seeing further than 200 metres all day.

To top it off, I was recalled to compete in the final of the 2000m rowing challenge today, less than 16 hours after yesterday's mammoth 9 hour ridge walk. I gave it everything I could muster and was shouting like a mad man during the final 500m push. But I won! By 0.2 of a second. Nobody remembers second place. For my troubles, I earned a free massage, which will come in very, very handy after the Triathlon.

Current weight is 15 stones and 3 pounds (212 pounds / 96.6 kg). Which is a slight increase, but relates to the 8 or 9 litres of water consumed yesterday.

That's all very well but that extra pound of weight was that from a celebratory half bottle of scotch?

That pound, and another, has already vanished. I put it down to water logging.
