Focus back onto Weymouth 70.3 after Vichy

Vichy was amazing. Suzanne, Jenny, Aron, Rob, Tracey all doing the half with Ian, Marcus, Paul,Mark and Zoe doing the full. Utterly inspiring. Ant, James, Richard, Lucy and I out to support and holiday. Brilliant brilliant fun.

So now i'm back with first full day of training after a week off. 

Hurtbox 9:30am session then straight to The Quays for 80 lengths 2k in 45.11.56

1km 21.38
500m 11.06
500m 12.28

When training for Challenge Weymouth at this time in my training i did 1500 in 43mins so mabes i'm in better shape than i realise. I really hope so as quite nervous about cutoff times

1.9k swim 1:10
90k cycle and swim 5:30
Leaving 3hours for the half marathon 

I guess we'll see where i am on the 17th Sept...

Some Hurtbox updates

Here are the rest of August's. Did an alpine session that i had to change kickers on - think that was the one i stopped the least on!!

Ramping up the sessions i can do as weymouth is a few weeks away plus with shift working i can now do every 9:30am session for my two weeks of noon and late starts. 

I still don't enjoy doing them but i love that i do do them.
