Alcohol as a performance enhancer

27 10 2006

Ok, this is, if I have read Paul’s posts correctly we are in week 18 so we were meant to do and I did:

Day Mon Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Plan rest 5km 5km 5km rest 10km rest
Actual 3.4km rest 5km gin 10km TBD TBD

Which I think is fairly good going, especially when Thursday involved a lot of Bombay Aaphire, rocks and lime.  After which, getting home in time for a late dinner of tacos (or was that breakfast), I woke up after a hearty 3 hours sleep raring to go for a run, which is remarkably pleasant at 4am in the morning. 

Running through the Singapore Botanic Garden is a bit scary at this time of morning as there isn’t that much light and with the ipod blaring its fairly surreal.  Particularly when you come out on the wrong side of the park to discover that the gate is locked closed and the park doesn’t open until 7am.  I was not confidient of navigating to the side gate at which I entered so it was a quick climb over the gate.

But all in all a very enjoyable run.  Oh and it was particularly pleasing to run past Orchid Towers where the riff raff hang out and most of the blokes (that weren’t sleeping it off) looked fairly incapacitated. 

Hence I may have to try this formula again to validate the performace enhancing properties of Bombay Saphire.

Sounds like a great run.
Hopefully will be able to join you if I have chance of a business trip to Singapore
