Had to do something today

I knew I had to do some training today but quite tired from boxing and weather looked dodgy so not that keen about LRR training this eve in case it did chuck it down.

So went to the quays after work for a swim. Really tired. Like swimming through treacle. Breathing felt rushed so did get abit panicky.

400m / 16 lengths 10.01.80.
Tired so 1.33.41 rest
50m 1.15.24

And then I got out!!!

Well at least I def know my 400m time is currently 10mins :)

I've signed up for tomorrow's aquathlon at lakeside in eastleigh - will prob do 750m / 5km

Need to get focused - half ironman is in 16 weeks!

I've made a training plan, I've got a book on stretches, I'm sorting out my nutrition...

Today I've cycled 5.5miles - commuting. Boxing with Pam 6.30-7.30pm then 30mins of stretching at home on my fabulous new yoga mat :)

Operation no bonking on the half ironman has definitely, officially started!

Mayday weekend

I'm rather hoping my body finally gets the memo about the whole upping the exercise because I'm absolutely knackered. Surely I'll stop aching soon? I wonder if professional athletes feel like this all the time? Because I'm telling you - if they do then I don't ever want to be a professional. Just sayin.

So, what have I been up to this week to make me so cream crackered? I'll just reach for my training journal and I'll tell you...

Sat 3/5 1200m swim 32.10.49, new cycle shoes - 1:05.50, 12.60miles (average 11.4mph)

So prob not that surprising to be honest :)

I got a tad carried away in tkmaxx, soccer sport and decathlon today - wonderful - loads of cycling and running stuff including new cycling shoes for events. I don't really use my cycling shoes for events cos they're ones that you can wear all the time so when I wear them with shorts I just look like a little school boy!

Fingers crossed weather lovely tomorrow so I get to cycle out to bucklers hard and meet the girls for luncheon.
