Staying focused

Today started with a tough cadence & gearing session on the bike. I was on the rollers and all was going well until 55 minutes into the set when my mind drifted elsewhere onto other matters & I lost focus. 

The great thing about riding the rollers is that you have to really concentrate & this makes the session go faster. The down side is that if you forget to concentrate then things can go wrong, and they did. One minute I was pedaling hard & the next I was crashing off the side of the rollers into Genevieve & onto the floor. Fortunately she was locked into the turbo trainer otherwise we would both have gone down. 

Result; Bruised ankle, bruised hip & left wrist is now strapped up & there will be no swimming or gym work for the next few days. The good thing about Triathlon training is that there are plenty of other things that I can do. 

Not the end of the world by any means, but the message here is... 

Keep your mind on what is important and don't worry about everything else!!
