Base training

I met up with Bob on Monday morning for a 2 hour ride, the pace was ok and i can tell he is getting fitter now becasue he pushes up the hills! In the afternoon we did a 5km swim set, it was pretty hard the intensity is increasing at the moment becasue the counties are coming up. The hardest bit was 12x100m off 1:30, target time 1:10. The first one i did 1:14 but afer that i maintained the pace to 1:10 each 100m. Then we did lots of long distance pull.
Tuesday i went for a run with Janine, Malc and Jane, we ran for 90mins XC. The course was brilliant but the pace was a little slow becasue Jane was sick.
Then in the evening i did a 4.5km pyramid swim set, with short efforts and distances.
Wednesday i ran an easy hour with Jutta, then headed up to Kenwick and did a core session, followed by some uch needed recovery time in the Sauna and Jacouzi.
Thursday the wind was over 70mph and it was way to dangerous to go outsdie so i did a 2 hour turbo session straight into a 30 min run. Seriously dont think i have ever sweat so much in my life! After some serious refueling i headed to the pool for a 5.5km session. We didn't do anything to hard just lots of long distance stuff and drills/technique.
I made it out of bed on Friday morning! whoo hoo! and swam the 2 hour morning session. I think we did 5.7km, lots of mixed swims and IM work and Kick, not much benifit for me but it was still a workout!
Then later on i met up wth Bob again and we rode for 1hr40mins across the wolds just as the sun was setting, it was the most beautiful ride i have done since i got back from Australia!
Today i went to watch the county schools XC but im heading to the gym in a while for a short treadmill run.
