4.5km of swimming and an accidental 10k

What a weekend!!
SunDowner swim - challenging events at Eliingham. Team of 3, 5 hours and a 1.2km loop then from 9pm a 750m loop.
My swim felt brilliant
Strong, fast, good technique. Plus had a bonus warm up at the Quays with Tri club in the morning

Then today - set my phone for 3mins run / 30secs walk x20. Realised I was close to doing a 10k so did an extra bit of running and wahoooo 10k run done 💪

Am shattered 
Meeting the girls 6:30pm for drinks
I may need to have a little snooze before hand

Am feeling pretty positive about the swim part of the Swashbuckler now xx

Stationary bike - RUN - swim 🎉 plus NCUATS

Today was a good day
Chatted to Sue via discord while on the stationary bike

And then, for the first time in about 6 weeks I went for a run!!!
Nothing spectacular 
4K, 35mins - run/walking but I was running and it felt great. 
No pain, felt strong. 
So happy. 
Just got to find another 17kms by the 18/7 for the half marathon after the 1.9k swim and 90k cycle at the Swashbuckler.
I'm feeling okay about it TBH
I should be bricking it 5.5 weeks out from a half bloody IM but I don't think it's actually sunk in yet 😂😂😂😂

Met Katherine for tea then off to the Quays for STC swim session :
1700m approx 44mins

I've rejoined as a swim member - need the coaching. My swimming has stagnated. It's all technique and I'm a totally useless coach!!

So that's me at the moment.
Feeling strong.
But also very much aware of how crap I am around chocolate so I've decide to do NCUATS
No Chocolate Until After The Swashbuckler 

Ooh and I've got a new job starting 12/7/21 - I'm over the road with the student support centre full time 💪
