hi everybody just come back to tri after 1 year off ( i missed it ) this morning 30 mins yoga , then 50 mile bike .This afternoon 1.5 mile swim . (day off work today )
Started a bike ride today after this mornings rain stopped. Roads were wet and slippery. A quite sharp curve with cobblestones combined with riding too fast did the trick. Wheels sweeped from under me and I touched the road in a way I dislike[image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m7.gif[/image]. Cycled 5 more miles and turned back home then[:(].
This really s*#çs. Can barely walk now, so I'll probably skip work tomorrow (roof worker) and worst of all: miss some workout.[:'(]
Its Wednesday ... and guess what I did the 60km turbo session another good one 1.24 - average speed 42.5 kmh. The same as last week. Great feeling! ps I also ate 2 children who could not swim!!
As I come to the end of my first week of Tri training, swam 1500m this morning in just over 21 mins, and dreading dragging myself round about a 6k run in the morning!
The kids are gone for a day of fun and games with their grandparents. Went for a day of shopping in Ghent (Belgium) with the lady. One hell of a mental training if you ask me[sm=rolleyes.gif][:D].
No seriously; it's my rest week and for the first time I can force myself to do nothing (although my bruised hip helps me to do so). Going out to dinner now, really loading up for next week you know.[8D]
Did an olympic distance tri this morning and knocked 3 minutes of my previous best so chuffed. it was also not a wetsuit legal race so my swim time was 2 minutes slower. Had we been able to swim in wetsuits I might have gone 5 minutes quicker. 10 weeks till IMSA.
Did a 10k PB yesterday, 44 mins and 4 seconds. Happy with that but disappointed I didn't do 43'59"!
Usual bike commuting all last week, 2 good runs earlier in the week and managed to get to the pool twice last week. Still building my base fitness in the pool, but doing ok. In previous seasons I haven't swum at all in the winter, just doing enough to do 1500m by June.
Did a "back care" yoga session on Thursday evening. Really enjoying the yoga and now I've got a few classes under my belt I'm trying to make time to do it at home.
Been a strygle today just finished a week of night shifts but did manage to get down the gym for an hour and use treadmill static bike and cross trainer for some good cardio work. mile swim tomorrow.[:D][:D][:D]
Bad time .... Well it had to happen, I injured my knee on the Friday 20kmer but I'm happy to say that I'll be good again on Thursday when I'll go sculling. I have my last sculling race of my rowing season on Saturday so I'll go out in the boat on Friday and then nail it on Saturday. Once this is over I'll add in more running instead of sculling - but I'll not forgo it completely. I hope all of you guys are injury free it makes me miserable, but I'm on the way back
My mind is now starting to smile. I got out in my boat today and did 6km quality sculling. The knee is ok but not perfect but I'm up for it. Another 6km paddle tomorrow then race on Saturday and then out with the cycle club on Sunday for a tight reliability race. Next week no mucking about back to full speed ahead! PS reading all your posts has motivated me into action. The mind is now smiling maybe it will laugh tomorrow
[color=#009999]I started ramping up my training a few weeks back after taking time out to re-furb my home..today i am mainly feeling like i've been tenderised as i did the brands hatch half yesterday(a good idea at the time)...I still know my running needs work...lots of work..hehe[&:] [/color]
Yesterday I raced the scull and won the veteran category and beat most of the senior men also. Today I paid the price for not really training all week - I did 100 miles on the bike 70 of which were a reliablity trial and I suffered every centimetre. But at least I'm back at it
I'm back, I'm back I'm back! Yesterday the wednesday turbo session 60 km at 42.6kmh - new record and today 1 hour non-stop swimming. I also have a terrible cold, and a knee injury but I don't care I'm back training fully

Feeling just a little silly now!
