Sitting here waiting for the Friday evening swim session - what can I do for 10 minutes, I know, update the blog!
Swim sessions are getting busier now as we get towards the season, will be interesting to see how packed our lane at the club will be tonight. Must be something in a triathletes nature, everyone claims they are going slow and just getting back into it after the "off season" then, you guessed it, as soon as they get in the lane the competitive nature kicks in and nobody wants to be passed!!!
The last couple of days have been good a 60 minute run yesterday, decided in my wisdom to pull out a pair of old trainers and either my toes have grown or the trainers have shrunk. I am now sporting a couple of black toe nails. Think its time I binned them!
Followed up with a 30 minute lunchtime swim and got talking to the woman in the lane next to me (56 years old and achieving sub 12 hour ironman, training for Lanzarote) based on this I should be able to do about 6 hours in Wales I reckon :-)
This morning I got on the turbo again for an hour, followed straight afterwards by 15 minutes weights on my legs. I am feeling the benefit of building leg muscle as my bike gets stronger. Its a shame I can't follow up last weeks 4 hour ride with a long ride again this Sunday. Due to a family christening I need to be in sunny Southampton for the weekend. So its up early Saturday morning for a couple of hours on the bike before we leave, I will then do a run from the hotel on Sunday morning.
Good swim session tonight, swim, kick, pull followed by 2X800M sets and 100M warm down - Chris was on form as we were balled out for not working hard enough. And yes, you guessed it, I was passed and hated it!!!
