Wed 23rd - Red Dust

AM
Swim 4km approx

PM
WT 90 minutes 230W (Sauna)

Pretty tough day today. I didnt finish the last set until 7:35pm. By the time I got home ate and cleaned (Dust everywhere) it was past 10pm and I will struggle tomorrow. The sauna sessions are (I Hope) great prep. Its not the best setup though but you make do. There are temp fluctuations and stale air to contend with, but you just do what you need to. The last 20 minutes were particularly tough and it was a mental battle to finish the set off. I was absolutely drenched after 90 minutes, all I could do was get the door open and jump into the pool for a couple of minutes.


Like the rest of Sydney, when I got up this morning to the red glow it really was an eerie feeling. Dust blew in from the west overnight in wild weather and with the sun coming up created a red glow.
Taking the dogs walking before swimming though didnt help as I must have breathed in some of it. A few coughing and spluttering sets later I continued on. It was hard this morning and ive got the dropsies again (my term for being so tired I drop things, bang into walls and generally feel like giving up) - But I wont!
