Kit dilemas...

2 Jan 2008

Back to work today - stressed!

Laurence suggested going to Decathlon at Lakeside to get some kit, not far from Basildon where I am working at the moment. Got there after listening to the news about the epidemic of sickness and diarrhoea - I don't need that at the moment!

Got bib cycling tights, shirt, jacket, warm socks, over shoes, shoes - can't find heart rate monitors, not sure shoes are right! - arrgghhh! Do I buy lights? I need some to train in the dark, but I know we've got some at home in the shed somewhere! Decided to try and find lights at home!

Got home - found lights! Lights don't have appropriate bits to fit onto the bike.

I'm annoyed, wished I'd brought some lights in the shop. I can't ride without lights and the training plan says I'm supposed to do 10 mile ride today - could do the ride and I feel a bit depressed about not getting started

Is this just too much hassle? - I'll sleep on that - and go back to get lights tomorrow...
