Epic Weekend 2/3 April

Epic weekend of Ride London training… 

Saturday = 400m swim TT 8.44 then 4K run 30mins plus bike marshalling at Tri Club's Tim Wilkes Training Day (then lunch - yum)

Sunday = approx 110km of cycling!

Morning was a glorious 50km, via The Bakehouse in Beaulieu for brunch,  gravel bike ride in the New Forest. Quick snack at home then a 50km out and back to West Meon to pick up some Facebook market place 'new to me' bike shoes. 

Home for a shower and some food then off to Mettricks Portwood for a cuppa and a catch up.

5k TT @ Tri club

Amazing!!!

26/2 parkrun - talked non stop to Claire 35.33

5k TT 12.5 laps of the track 

No talking

32.14

Looks like a sub 30 5k is doable after all xxx

Mojo where art thou?

Slowly slowly getting my mojo back

About 11/12 weeks to Ride London so maybe 16 weeks to the Swashbuckler half Ironman. 

I'm not worried but I do need to start knuckling down and start to train consistently 

I'm 77kg want to be 69kg

Parkrun last week talking non stop 35:33

Would want to stop cycling after about 70km which is an issue as Ride London is about 160km.

Swim - I can swim 1900m no problem but I'd like to do it comfortably in under 45minutes 

So… plenty to work on 🤗

 

How’s the training going Lizzie?

Well…

Not bad thanks for asking xx

Last week smashed it!!

Swam, biked, ran and walked

This week - I've blinked and it's now Friday 😂

Swam this evening, running and swimming tomorrow and commuter cycling to Fareham on Sunday.

Keeping my mantra - consistency consistency consistency, and knowing I have a 100mile Ride London to do end of May and the Swashbuckler again in July, I just need to keep going.

So feeling pretty good.

Update re: Brighton half.

Not doing this now as going to Debs and Ingie's party

But I will continue to run and I'm doing parkrun in the 26/2 so looking forward to seeing how my running is going.

Gravel bike ride 51km 3hours

Consistency

I need to be cycling, running, walking, swimming every week 

Today was 51km bike ride

16km out and back to Eling carpark

Then quick turnaround and off to the common for a walk with Vik, Shaz and Karyn

Feeling good

And now off to bed
