Ticking along quite nicely with the training this week.
Eased back on the cycling this week to focus a bit more on the running and swimming.
The runs are getting stronger, easier and longer, still need a good warm up but I'm working on reducing the warm up time. It's not the end of the world if I can't do that because on race day I'll have about an 8 hour warm up. It would just be nice to go run training without having to add fourty five minutes of power walking to the session.
This weeks sea swim was a bit of a disaster. Changed beach for the sake of taking the dog for a walk but the breakers were about four feet above my head. I think it was a valuable lesson though. Swimming through the waves you soon learn that your only submeged for a second and you come straight out the other side.
Between the waves I felt more comfortable with my swimming and more able to maintain a steady stroke, then SPLASH DOLOP. Start all over again. Once I realised that I wasn't going to die, it actually became fun.
