..miss jo is very delicate

.. i really am a delicate little princess....lol
..but intersting to see how well sunscreen actually works. we were in the sun from 10am-12 yesterday at willy beach, i sunscreened up and at one stage said to stu, i feel like im getting burned, im sure he rolled his eyes..
anyway being the VERY delicate little flower that i am, the rather large section of my left leg that i missed is INDEED very sunburnt...yowsers-so the sunscreen worked well everywhere else..
coolies
...so yesterday was just a walk in the water -did 15mins which is way more effort than it sounds
..then flagging around home trying to stay completely out of the sun(also my shoulders burnt from sat and making me look like i have a 'tradey tan'
..then chicken and chips for lunch and pizza at one of those pizza pasta places for dinner, am really going to have to start eating better...oops
..oh and it is FRIGGIN hot and um we DONT have air con!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway racing tonight; either 1500(or 200) SP discus 400- but if it is really hot or windy still, i think i will do the 200 in preference to the 1500 as i would just flag it anyway-and the heat doesnt affect a 200
will wait and see...feeling quite blah and temperamental today

It doesn't take long in the sun to burn - I wouldn't trust sunscreen, even a high rating one, for 2 hours in this heat. Better to be a delicate princess and look after yourself than be a wrinkled prune with skin cancer!

If you're delicate, and/or old, and racing 3 times a week, probably best to do easy jogging runs between those race days.

If no head-wind, I'll guess 30.2.

Even with the strongest sunscreen on I have a very distinct bathers mark! When it is so hot you have to go out for dinner- no fun cooking in this weather- Enjoy!

Have to start saving for the evaporative cooling. It's the best investment we've made for a while.

I'm starting to get tan lines where the bike shorts finish.

Oh I really feel for you if you don't have air conditioning at home.

Our cooling has been on just about 24/7!
