Well, managed to rally and do the Team Time Trial at the Bananman at Eton. Didn't feel particularly right or up for it when I got up but knew the team were relying on me.
Had an awful swim due to new goggles (schoolgirl error!) filling up with water every 2 mins. Still managed to post a 16 min swim for 800m however so clearly the swim training is paying off.
But and the big but, I was a total liability on the bike and the other two had to do all the work on the front on a very windy day while I just hung in there wishing the 6 laps would go by. Thought I'd be Ok on the run but I was totally spent from the bike so had a pretty slow and gruelling one there too and only found my running legs on the last lap. We did manage to overtake another female team so that was a small consolation to an otherwise levelling day. Chris was delighted at 4am when I woke him up to say "I think I've made a big mistake about IM Austria!". Suspect that won't be the only time he hears that.
