Excellent pre swashbuckler training run

OMG having my wrist vibrate and beep every time you need to do something different in a workout is so brilliant!!!

35mins of running

Waited till after 9pm to do it but I was still soaked with sweat when I got back to mums

Up and down the rec 

Sunset was wonderful

Felt so strong and so smooth

And no need to worry about whether I was doing the workout right because my wrist vibrated every time I needed to go faster / slower. 

Loved it.

I'm super excited about Sunday 

I'm curious to see how my body holds up and how I manage the ever increasing fatigue that I'll be feeling over the course of the 1100m swim / 40k cycle and 11k run. 

Niggles

I'm sat down thinking my butt is sore, the small of my back is sore, my groin is sore.

i've made an appoitment to see a physio on the 8/7

We're hoping that i'll be able to settle soon but we don't want to settle if i'm not 100% recovered

Fabulous 77.5km bike ride with Sue on Wednesday

Very excited for the Swashbuckler standard tri next Sunday 

But so fed up with the niggles. I don't remember this many niggle pre accident!

Exbury 10k

Well that was fun

1:17.54

I could have been quicker. I felt so strong.

Groin was sore after the race and my left glute area is still a bit sore and I had some discomfort during the race

But I'm also so pleased.

I'm feeling excited for the Swashbuckler standard tri on the 6/7

I'm also really pleased I've got a Lizzy massage booked for tomorrow 🤗

One year of restarting OF&H

Just bonkers!!!

I really must be kinder to myself 

Yesterday I swam 2k with tri club at the Quays

Today I ran 7.5k and cycled 10k (and went to find the poppies at Langley Vale) 

Basically I'm back trining 

This time last year I was clipped in for the first time since my accident and OWS first time since my accident.

I'm still not 100%

But I'm getting closer and closer 

Walked home, 55mins, left hip/glute not happy

Okay. That's not right. I think I'll book to see a physio as my left glute shouldn't be bothered by a 55minute walk!!!

Talking to physio Amy she did mention that I may not get back to 100% where I was pre accident.

That had never crossed my mind.

I can understand now why solicitor Liz is keen to ensure I don't under settle as there is a chance Lizzie may not be able to go long 🙁

I'm very pleased I've got coach Emma and I do need to update solicitor Liz with some more expenses 

Post accident parkrun pb

What a day yesterday

Oli and Tina's wedding

My post accident parkrun PB

35.16

And I would have chatted a lot more if Charlotte had remembered to bring her inhaler 🤣

Today I did my post parkrun run session

Just clicked on training / calendar and then today's session. Pressed start and did it. I'm loving figuring out how to manage to get all green ✅

Not there yet but soon xx
