Trying to remember what happened!
First week of “real” training, been running for a year now – so it was all about the swim and cycle.
Went out twice, after first finding that my chain had welded to my bike through a little rust. First was just an 18 miler, get back used to it, and last Sat did just under 30 – which went okay. Slightly painful on the under-carriage after about 25, but all in all not too shabby.
I have had some new Shimano boots for Christmas, so along with me woolie boolies I was quite toasty.
Also went for the first swim last Thurs, which was a bit daunting – up about 5:30 to get into the pool for just before 7, do I not like swimming with people. In the 50 meter pool in Cardiff, whih is far better than the training I did before in the tiny Hilton pool. Nearly died on the first length tho, but got into a bit of a rhythm and I think, although the gps watch looks odd, I did 1300 meters in about half hour – so currently on track for something like 1.5 hrs or more at the moment, which is toooooo slow, anyway it’s just the first, gotta go back tomorrow.
Probably worth some stat collection:
Weight: dunno – pretty close to 13 I would guess, too scared to find out
Beers: maybe 8 pints, 4 cans?
