Today I thought I would be fancy with my breakfast and oh how that backfired. In my mind the combination of red lentils, avocado, red peppers and tomatoes all blended into some kind of mush and then baked would not only look beautiful but taste amazing. It tasted like death, the worst thing I have ever eaten. Thank the lord I can add seasoning and tomato ketchup, the only things that made it slightly palatable and allowed me to shovel it down my gob as quickly as possible at work. I knocked back a full coffee to make sure it didn’t make a guest appearance on my desk. I won’t be doing that again, I will be sticking to porridge, you know what you are getting with porridge.

Woke up bright and alert and went for my first run – triathlon training has officially started! Felt pretty energetic all day at work even after consuming the most disgusting breakfast in the world and went on to ride the horse who tried to launch me into the canal whilst out in the fields, go avocado shopping, train back at the gym and get in a quick 30 minute spin session. So a pretty productive day.

Hanj (Best BA ever when he behaves) has been giving me tips on how to improve my performance during my first triathlon. I would just like to point out that Hanj (Best BA ever when he behaves) has never done a triathlon, but nevertheless I will still take on board his priceless advice. So far he has advised that I wear a shark fin whilst swimming as that will help my salmon like swimming technique and to perform the superman like the dude in the below YouTube video;

I regret to inform you that Phil (who is one foot taller than me) did not insult me today and that is because he is in a state of shock as he is actually doing real work this week and not pretending and drinking coffee trying to look all important. I do however need to inform you all of a complaint made against me today by Sarah (Alpaca and Pom Pom enthusiast with a penchant for Prosecco) as I have failed to mention that she too joined in with the bullying session regarding my accent yesterday and that we went shopping for joy sticks (also known as incense sticks) and wool for our pom pom creations that will be made soon.

Sarah (Alpaca and Pom Pom enthusiast with a penchant for Prosecco) please accept a thousand apologies from myself. I will never exclude you from the blog regardless of what activities you have been involved in.
