THANK Crunchie it's Friday! A relaxing morning's training before work this morning - just an easy-paced half-hour run in the sunshine with the Daily Post's esteemed sports editor Andrew Gilpin.
Post-Glastonbury I've been easing myself back into the training - a half-hearted swim on Wednesday sandwiched between trips to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday is hardly Iron Man stuff, but it's not a bad effort after five days of partying in Somerset.
Rest assured that any lingering roughness I felt from quaffing back the gin and tonic last weekend was fully taken out on the rowing machine yesterday - and this morning we must have covered a good four miles, which even at this early stage in the training is further than I'll actually have to run come the day of the Llanrwst Triathlon (September 9, don't forget - it is for charridy after all!).
Muchos congratulations, by the way, to Rhian Davies, who has qualified for her fourth consecutive World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Canada next year.
The Colwyn Bay primary schoolteacher is currently the World bronze medallist in the 30-34 age group after she came third in Switzerland last year. That fantastic feat gained her automatic qualification for this year's championships, which take place in Hamburg in September. Rhian made her debut in the world event in Hawaii in 2005.
Congratulations are also due to Rhian's Carneddau Tri and Colwyn Bay AC team-mate Vicki Ronald who was recently crowned Welsh veteran ladies triathlon champion. Well done girls!
