As a long distance couple this week was of course going to be a difficult one to navigate but come Valentine’s Day evening Warwick and Jodie were found in familiar locations. Jodie tucked up at home with a book whilst Warwick swam repeatedly up and down the same 25m in a pool over 70 miles away from her.
This was the agreed arrangement but it still reminded us that it’s not easy balancing a relationship, full time jobs and training; there’ll always be difficulties. But, come Friday evening we were both booked in for sports massages with the lovely Sarah at Galleywood Massage https://www.facebook.com/galleywoodmassage/ with Warwick accidentally falling asleep half way through (a side effect of his constant desire for improvement).
Saturday rolled around and with it a very much welcomed rest day, a brief trip into town to replace yet another pair of swimmers then waiting for a very rare but welcome meal out that evening. We’re not high society diners and when it comes to our favourite restaurant, quantity is looked upon favourably. Next door to Warwicks local pool is an amazing Chinese buffet which is where we were to treat ourselves for being good all week and indulge in some well needed comfort food and time together away from the mounting pressure of our lives at the moment.
The next morning in a state of pleasure from the previous night's buffet, we realised that some exercise, but nothing of racing level, was needed to fight off the food babies we appeared to be transporting. There’s one remedy for this, riding bikes in the lovely outdoors away from wattbike studios and their painful training plans, enjoying the chase around the lanes and the wind in our hair....
Right up to the moment that Jodie’s bike decided to puncture and ruin the fun. I think she enjoyed the 40 minutes spent in the Church car park waiting for a lift!
Jodie appears to have two heads...!
All in all, a highly relaxing weekend spent sleeping, relaxing and generally enjoying ourselves without the pressure of training. It’s a shame that the 5:30am starts begin again tomorrow.
As a teaser for next week - a very exciting announcement is coming on the 23rd so keep your eyes peeled and we'll let you all know once its announced!
Hope you've all had a great weekend and have a fabulous week.
Keep Tri-ing,
Warwick & Jodie 🙂
