129 days to go - forgot to post

When you decide you're going to post an update everyday and then forget  :( 

Yesterday was okay

- S&C in the gym before work

- Run after work

I took my sports bra to work, left my Hub top in my draw and then ran to mum's car, ran up and down Winn Road before driving back to my flat.

This worked so well.

I will def do this again. 

130 days to go - bike ride after work

Slept well last night.

It helped that I was in bed by 10pm.

Decided to go to the gym before work and then go out for a bike ride as soon as I got in from work around 8:20pm

That worked so well!

I listened to NFL podcasts while I cycled around the city centre.

Plus check out the fast twitch race pack 🤣

I didn't notice it was me until jenny emailed to let me know. 

Hilarious.

I also cannot wait to do the race next month. I'm so excited to see how I do.

131 days to go - rest day - DOMS

So tired!!

My shoulders have been killing me all day 

Took me till this evening to realise they're DOMS from Sunday's gym class 🤣 I did very forceful throwing down of the medicine ball. It was wonderful but crikey I gave it some welly xx

At CLS I did dry land swim session and one of the dry land swim exercises was slamming down the medicine ball from over head to get that strong feeling of the pull. Or maybe the catch 🤔 

Anyways, was very satisfying and I did feel as if I was powering through the water 🥳

132 days to go - bike ride / cuppa / flat tire

Everything was going great.

I was loving my cycling around Ashtead and into Leatherhead exploring roads I hadn't biked along for years / if ever.

Messaged Phil for a cuppa if she was in. 

She was, we had a lovely cuppa catch up.

Then I headed back to mums.

You know when you start loosing control of the bike and you just know it's because the tire is probably flat but you really don't want to stop because then you'll be able to feel the tire, know it's flat and because no pump have to walk the rest of the way home…

Yep, that was me along the A24 by West Ashtead school. 

18minutes later I'm home. 

Siiiiiigh.

133 days to go - gym circuit session with debs

Today was lovely 

I've joined Leatherhead leisure centre so I can swim, use the gym, do classes when up at mums. 

Big sister debs, me and her mate from work did a 30min gym circuit session. I loved it. 10 stations, 45secs/15rest/45secs each station then 15secs to move to the next one. 

Then afternoon tea, Josie dog ate a luxury hot cross bun (she's fine thanks to emergency vet) and then chilling watching tv. 

134 days to the Outlaw

Tri club swimming - loved it. I must remember how  good I always feel after the session.

Allotment with Muts

Dug the 2nd bean trench - great work out 

Lunch / afternoon tea with Emi in Portswood

Cycled home - gardening and some sorting 

7pm -A Night  at the Opera - Soton Philharmonic Choir - Vik and Alec

Walked home and then lots of YouTube classical music starting with the 3 tenors!!

Very tired 

Must go to bed

I think 134 is enough time to be able to swim 3.8km in 1:45, cycle 180km in under 7hours and then run a marathon in under 6 hours. I'd love a time that starts with 15 xx

Back on it

My compensation money has gone through.

My accident has been put to bed.

I'm now able to fully focus on the Outlaw

I have been remiss at updating my blog.

I have missed sessions from coach Emma.

We're now 19 weeks away from the Outlaw 

I'd like to finish in a time of 15 something. 

Game on 🤗💪
