Today has been totally awesome, I had a nice relaxed swim session this morning to keep the body moving as it was a little tight and sore when I got up. Then headed to my favourite coffee shop for the best coffee around. A physio session followed which was nice to have tight muscles relaxed. Then out to Swimming World to have a look and pick up some items (new bathers and a waterproof heart rate monitor), which I look forward to trying out on Wednesday's swim session. I then headed out to my favourite place in the world...Cottesloe Beach. The photo below taken today was to the north, where a beautiful storm was building. I sat at a lovely restaurant called The Blue Duck, where I sat out on the deck over looking the beautiful Indian Ocean. Lunch was amazing, beef ribs that were so tender and melt in your mouth, and chips with sour cream. I don't this very often, but just felt like spoiling myself just a little today and the view was exceptional.
After lunch I headed back to my favourite triathlon shop to pick up some new goggles and some gels ready for next weekend. As I headed to the freeway (Polly Farmer Freeway) the sky opened up and down came the rain, with the lightening and thunder. I was amazing, even though it can be dangerous driving in these conditions, but I was loving every minute of it. In Perth we have had some really hot and humid days and it was lovely to have a heavy down pour of rain to cool things off a bit and water the gardens. The only issue is that once the sun comes out again it becomes humid again.
The photo to the right was taken at the same place as the above photo, but heading South, so you can see the difference between directions. Its amazing to see.
Its interesting to see just how different the ocean is each day. Saturday was amazingly calm when I did the swim through, then yesterday was choppy due to the easterly winds, and then today was amazingly calm again before the storm.
This is also the starting point for the Perth To Rottnest Channel swim which for this year is on the 21st Feb.
Have a great week everyone...
