5 weeks tomorrow I’ll be done!!!

This is all feeling very real 
I need to stop freaking out about the ridiculous distances and focus on trusting my training. 

I can swim 3.8km in under 2 hours 
I can bike 180km in under 8 hours 
I can run a marathon in under 7 hours 
I can do x2 transitions in under 15mins each one 

I’ve got this 🥳 

Fabulous day today 
Training, allotment, solstice, Jo’s bday party

Rest day / dodgy tummy

No idea why but I’ve had a dodgy tummy since 9:30 last night. Let’s just say Bristol chart #7 and leave it as that 

Needless to say I cancelled my swim booking for the leisure centre this morning.
Took everything very gently 

I’ll probably just walk a lot tomorrow as I want to protect my long ride on Saturday 🤗

Watch was on pool swim not open water swim. Aah well.
Ellingham heaving with tri buddies
Wonderful to see Paul & Sarah, Nick, Kirstie. Plus def other familiar faces 🥰

Managed 22 mins cycle as so hungry!!!!
Thank god I had lasagne in the terrace bar at lunchtime. Had chicken and chips from my fave chippie along Queensway. Love the chap who I think owns it.
