Today I think I experienced my tantrums and tiara moment, I'd been warned it was coming, but as everyone else has collapsed a day or two ago I smugly thought it had skipped me. How wrong I was. After another early start my head felt like cotton wool, my legs were weak and there was inexplicable bruising everywhere- down to DOMS, delayed onset of muscle soreness). Ad now they wanted me to jump into the freezing cold Plymouth water, swim to spiky looking rocks, climb them, jump them and repeat. Oh dear...
Firstly, I'm not a chicken. I've skydived, abseiled and bungee jumped, I can cope with fear. but fear coupled with cold and hunger? Umm. I wasn't sure I was going to go in but gritted my teeth and went on, doggy paddling all the way (I'm a weak swimmer). I swam, I climbed, I jumped (well really little rocks) and I went back early. Despite not having lasted the full two hours I was proud of myself- I'd said yes I can do it, and that attitude really helped. The instructors were great, urging me along with kind words, perhaps realizing chastisement in the sea would cause total mental collapse,
Yet more recruits awaited us on return, but we did get a rather tasty lentil burger for lunch.
More circuits. I'm starting to really like these as they break up the day, and because you never do one activity for that long you don't get bored, My arm are aching though.
More soup for supper- bean soup tonight and then halloumi cheese. Starting to really like having soup with every meal, it fills you up and tastes lovely. A Scarlet said, 'tomorrow is another day!'
