Day nine of Weymouth 70.3 recovery

A weekend in London.

Runleading Monday eve - cycling all over the common while group A did a parkrun then tri club. 

50m - time 54seconds with 50 strokes. 

Today S&C the HB - a grinding it out Alpine session which i did 35mins of.

I have no work stress and no big scary sporting events looming. 

I feel wonderful :) 

I'm so excited for a winter of training then a spring and summer of running - Southampton 10k, Brighton marathon, Swansea half, Endure 24 to name a few. Some long rides and some swims. But no stressful half Ironman to worry about!

I have arrived at a lovely place as a triathlete and i can't wait to find out how fit and healthy i actually can get. 

Day five of Weymouth 70.3 recovery :)

Obviously a race report will be done but currently i'm just gently recovering from my eight hours, twenty four minutes and twenty seven seconds of intense racing - utterly exhausted. Soooo stressful chasing the cutoffs. What a day.

Monday eve popped along to group A LRR and gave out car passes at tri club. Basically showed off medal and wore my ironman tee :)

Tuesday 15mins in the pool at work.

Wednesday 45mins at HB 

Thursday - 34.04.94 on the track - 11 laps, 4.4km. Happy with that - Jo, Nicki and Lois joined me.

Friday - just done 25mins HB and scoffed some crispy duck. Am still very tired. But thats okay as it's approx 7-10days at least recovery from a half ironman. 

Off to work in a bit. 

I'm in awe of how well i'm recovering. I must be alot fitter than i give myself credit for. 

Smashed it at Lakeside

I'm ten days away from Weymouth 70.3 and i'm a bit nervous.

However...

Coach Huw reckons i'll be absolutly fine on the swim and this evening i did x3 laps of the lake in 22.28. Muts reckons each lap is at least 300m so thats 900m in 22.28mins. Very happy with that.

I then helped marshal the go tri mini aquathlon. Love marshalling so much. In fact i love marshalling and supporting just as much as i love competing :)

Lovely to see Katherine and Pammie and chat Kona with Alex
