#10 Sleeping. It's crazy but the more tired I am the poorer the quailtiy of my sleep. If I stay asleep for too long to start the night out, then my mouth gets so sore that I'm then screwed for the rest of the night,,,,weird eh?
#9 Scheduling. While I am imensely grateful to my employer there still remains the need to do some work, and it often needs co-ordinated with other peoples schedules as well.
#8 Swimming. I just wish I had a little more athletic ability. Unlike the other 2 sports hard work simply does not pay off.
#7 Injury. It seems like I am always on the edge of an achilles problem, or a knee problem, or maybe just an old age problem?
#6 Weather. While I have professed many times to love our seasons I will never learn to love the wind...summer or winter.
#5 Patience. Somehow I think I would almost be better off if the race was closer. I know however that I can make good use of the time if I could simply take it slower .
#4 Stretching. I hate it with a passion and it definitely contributes to my injury susceptability.
#3 Strength training. For many people this is the foundation of their exercise regime but for me it's just a pain.
#2 Drills. Whether swimming, cycling or running drills are a key element of improved efficiency. I do then very rarely.
....and the number one challenge that I face in my training, and in life....can you guess? Yup!
#1 Eating. I still love to eat despite the changes in my sense of taste, and my lack of saliva. My lack of discipline when it comes to fatty, greasy foods is my biggest vice!
(swim 1200 metres, run 7.3kms)
