May 2016 has been a great month for training. It's like I'm back. Well back ish anyway...
Here's a whistle stop tour of the last 3 weeks :)
Monday 2/5/16 - The Winchester Sprint Triathlon
Brilliant, brilliant fun.
Yes i was practically last but because we all start in different waves you have absolutely no idea where you've come until the official results are published.
My unofficial timings:
400m / 16 lengths of the pool = 9.36.29
T1 = 7.26.24
I couldn't decide what to wear on the bike course so spent way to long thinking about it while eating a banana and then realised I'd only put on one glove so had to nip back for the left one.
24k Cycle = 1:26.14 (the bluebells as per usual were beautiful)
T2 = 2.23.06 - included hugging Lou who'd come along to support :)
5k Run = 43.17.96 felt great just very slow because really unfit.
Loved it. Wonderful to be back participating, seeing friends and having a fab time.
Then Paul from Tri club gave me a lift back to Southampton where me, Lou and the Smiths had lunch at the Platform Tavern. Great fun.
5th-9th May - long weekend to Glen Rock New Jersey to see cousin Ruth, Kevin and the girls.
Then operation fit and healthy pretty much restarted on Saturday 14th May 2016
Tri club swim session then Tudor House for tea and tea cakes
Cycled to Weston Shore then ran 51.19mins to the Police training college in Hamble to cheer on the No Limits charity rounders for an hour. Ran back to bike 40.08mins. Collapsed in front of TV watching Eurovision.
Sunday 15th May - cycled to Bucklers Hard, New Forest 6:45am-8:15am then marshalled the Swashbuckler middle distance triathlon (water station) 8:45-12:45pm. Bacon bap, chatting to chums, sit down in the pub with Suzanne, Richard, Matt and all the dogs then cycled back via Lyndhurst 2:45pm-4:45pm. Got home, showered then ate the contents of my fridge.
Monday 16th May - over chlorinated the water at the Quays so no tri club swimming. Hurtbox instead with Suzanne and Richard. Brilliant fun.
Tuesday 17th May - cycled to Netley for supper then back to Woolston for a pub quiz with Ita and her mate.
Wednesday 18th May - decided it'd be too wet and thundery for the RR10 so drank white wine spritzers at Holly's work leaving do instead :)
Thursday 19th May - went for a run after work 34.15.55 and admired the huge new cruise ship Harmony of the Sea.
Friday 20th May - a killer of a Hurtbox session. LOVED IT
Saturday 21st May - Coach Huw's usual Saturday morning tri club swim set that lures you into thinking oooh this is a lovely set, nice and gentle before you realise he's actually gently killing you so you leave the pool barely able to talk let along walk. Kinda the perfect coached session. Rather like the Hurtbox sessions
Worked in the afternoon then up to London for a fab weekend with Jules, Charlie and the kids.
Home now.
Really rather tired.
But so so soooooooo utterly over the moon about finally feeling as if i'm back training properly.
HOORAH!!!
