First bollocking of the season

Well, it has happened, I have had my first ticking off by tri-coach Dara who likes to occasionally remind me who's boss.

I got back from my long run and, despite forgetting to take nutrition gels with me, had drunk a litre of hydration on the 9.5 miler. And then I had a cool shower instead of sitting in an ice cold bath for 10 minutes. In my defence, although I do know what is expected of me, Dara had not put explicit instructions on my training log and on this day I decided to just have a cool shower and avoid the cold bath as my legs were feeling okay.

Anyway, I got a slight but well deserved bollocking.

Here's the thing. I could lie to her - she would never know. I could tell her that I sat in an ice cold bath (coz I'm well 'ard as she knows) and that I took any number of nutritional gels with me and protein shakes and everything. And she would never, ever know.

So, why on earth don't I?

Now, Kim, you don't lie, cos you know I know everything.
Silly girl.

But how do you know everything? I know it's true but how?
