First tri club track session since pre accident

Bloody loved it 

Hills are our friend 

Up and down the 1st hill

Run to 1st lamppost and back 2nd and back 3rd and back 4th & 5th - did this 3 times. 

Feeling okay 

Coach Kelly said my running form looked good

I took it steady but did the whole session

Cycled there and back - great warm up / cool down 

Very happy 

Am loving doing Genma's online coaching - I'm getting a routine back and it's fabulous 

Poster girl for next years New Forest middle distance tri 🤗

I'd just got out of the water. I was so happy!!!! 

1/9/23 just managed to walk for 16seconds without any crutches

1/9/24 just finished the 400m swim and about to head out on a 33k bike ride and 5k run. 

Every atom of my being was joy 🤩 

Fabulous massage

Wow

Major DOMS today

Everything was sore!!

Massage was fantastic 

Yes, it was painful but as Lizzy said, muscles need deep tissue massage when they've been used!

My upper body is excellent

Lower body - feel muscles in the calves need work and my hamstrings. My quads are very strong so I need to ensure they're not working overtime with my weaker hamstrings. 

Ashtead 10k 83.02

So happy today

Managed to run/ walk 10k

First 5k was non stop

Then walked the turn point, kissed my support crew, ate a Jaffa cake and drank water then decided to head off for the 2nd 5k

I had decided to keep going if my first 5k was in under 40mins

It was

The second 5k was slower

I was tired.

I walked a few of the slight uphills 

By 6.5/7k my left groin and glute were sore but I just took it gently and of course celebrated every km marker

By the finishing straight both calves were starting to spasm 

But I was just so happy to finish 

Lunch at the Days

Supper at the Peacocks

Very tired and sore now and very much looking forward to 10am tomorrow and a Lizzy massage 

Ashtead 10k tomorrow

How am I feeling?

Excited 

But also some trepidation as furthest I've run is 6k and I haven't really done much training 

I am curious though to see how I do

To see how I feel after run/walk/jogging 10k

My usual 10k time is 73-80mins

I hope I go under 90mins as I don't want to be the cause of holding everyone up at the end

It's an out and back so I'll just see how I feel at the turn point. If I'm under 40mins I'll keep going 🥳

3 days post sprint tri

I'm still feeling incredibly proud of myself 

I'm also still tired and sore 

Shoulder still sore

Arms are sore especially my right arm - maybe the position on the bike?

Small of back bit sore

Hips both left and right

Side of left hip down the thigh 

Calfs

And still tired

And eating loads

But absolutely worth it xx

Recovery day 2

Still tired

Arms are sore

Back sore

Quads sore

Shins sore

Shoulders sore

Glutes sore

I am sore!!!!!!

But this time last year my max play time was 4hours before I needed to go home and rest

Sunday morning I did 2:52 of continual PE

No wonder I'm tired and sore xx
