The everyday training and life of a Triathlete

Wednesday, December 06, 2006

I was back on the Turbo on Sunday because the winds were so bad outside, so i got the latest issue of tri news and cycled away for 1hour45min before going straight into a 30min progressive run. Then in the evening we only did a 4km swim because it was time trials. I did a 2km warm up, then a 1500m TT (18:38:02) It hurt so bad, and to think i have to do that now in a triathlon! But i've never done it before so it was a PB! Afterwards i did a 500m cool down.

Monday the winds were much calmer so i went out and rode a 75min loop to the beach and back which is completely flat, i felt really sore and was uncomfortable the whole time.
Then i swam 4.5km, we did lots of drills and kick (which hurt my legs even more) The mainset was 10x100m and we had to come in below 1:12. I was on fire! eventhough it was short course i was doing below 1:10 each time, i felt really good, smooth and effortless.

Tuesday i met up for a long XC Run with Janine, Jane and thier coach Malc, we ran for 1hour30mins, it was a great run we worked hard but had a laugh at the same time.
That evening the swim session was 4.5km again. The mainset was 5x300m as 200m pull 100m swim which was good for me as longer distance pull really makes me feel like im working.
