Triathlon Tuesday

Suddenly in a time zone of my own, I woke up at 4 a.m. again today and finished the revisions of my article. As always, I discovered a couple of annoying typos the minute after submitting, but there will presumably be a few more rounds before it appears in print.

After two more hours of work, I took the tram down to Valhallabadet for a sprint triathlon. Just as before, the biking was the worst part, but at least I was able to refuel with a freshly baked cinnamon bun. One day, I might consider doing a half Ironman – even as the thought of riding 90 kilometres on an indoor trainer is utterly horrifying.

On my way home, I picked up another package from Sellpy, this time containing a terry polo from Orlebar Brown for 450 SEK which turned out to be absolutely lovely, and a Danish leather jacket for 200 SEK to match. Sadly, the colour of the jacket was completely off – nothing at all like the one Bond wears in Morocco (not that I would know) – so I am afraid it will have to go back. The polo, however, is a definite keeper: essentially a dark blue version of the grey one from OAS that I bought three years ago and have worn extensively ever since.
