Any nothing week which was not too great on the training ability thanks to work again.
Mon – was a normal working from home day which led to a lot achieved and a chance to get down the pool in the afternoon. Got there around 14:00 and the place was really busy. Normally go on a Tues or Thurs and it is a lot quieter, but today a load of oldies, then a couple of youngies came also. Lucjily I was tucked in against the lane marker and it wasn’t too bad, but I didn’t really compl;ete as much as I wanted to, but it was a good session – at least 1000meters so okay really.
Tues – Had to go to Bristol to met with HP today, so left the house at 6:30, then got back around 6:30 – so no time for anyting today unfortuntaly.
Weds – back at home today, so out for a run this morning, as I had not run for a while, and still seemed to be feeling the remnents of the long cycle I took it easy and just did a 3 miler this morning.
Thurs – back in the bleeding office today – 1.5 hr commute as I didn’t have the car – so left the house befotre 7:30 and had my computer on ready for work at 9:10 – crazy. As I had to pick the car up it also meant I was working at home with my computer still on at 6:00
Friday – another run, did the old hill route today – usual time, tired.
Sat – nothing
Sun – another mini triathlon, although this one was quite close the the real thing. First off down the pool for 7:00, Although they only open at 7:00 there were already 3 guys getting changed. Got in and got my lane and did 40 mins of swim, which should be enough to cover the 1.5K. Finding it very tiring at the start now, but once you get into a rhythm its not too bad. Got busy again, but I was okay. Snuck a quick Maccy D’s on the way home, but only had a fiver so got me a bacon roll and a sausage McMuffin for Sian. Once back I fitted the saddle and got sorted for the cycle/run.
Have downloaded Strava to check the distances etc – so got that sort and set off on the bike – the tw@ is clicking agian and doing my bonce it!. So around 25 miles of cycling, which is pretty damn close to the triathlon distance in an hour and a half, then immediatly (well I needed some fluid) into the run – which is my normal run up and down 4.2 miles which I managed in 40 mins which is about the time I would expect. It was hard, the run is especially difficult after the cycle, even though I didn’t feel too tired the run is really difficult. But in realisty, although I didnt go from swim to cycle immediatly I effectivily (other than 2 miles of runing) did the tri today. And don’t I know it!
