Yes I got the
great news over the weekend that I am in the sprint triathlon on Sunday 14th
June. I am so happy and now the real
hard work begins. We are going to
have look up and go on the cycle route
in a few weeks’ time and see how we get on as we have heard it is challenging
or should I say blummin hilly.
So last week’straining went well. I did miss my run on
Tuesday as my hip was giving me jip but it was the right thing to do as it is
feeling so much better. In addition to
my plan I did my first ever run , swim, run on Saturday morning.
The plan was
to run 2 miles to the gym, swim 32 length and run/walk home depending on my
legs. I set off nice and early and
carrying the minimal I could. I packed a
long-sleeved top to wear on the way back in case I ended up walking. I just wasn’t sure what I was capable
of. I should have put more layers on to begin with
as I was freezing when I set off. In fact
I was freezing the whole 2 miles and felt like I was running like a robot! I was so cold but on the plus side the pool
felt lovely and warm! I didn’t enjoy the
run at all and was questioning what I had decided to do. The swim however was great and I really
enjoyed it. I could have stayed longer
but decided to go after the 32 lengths.
I just didn’t know what my limit was and didn’t want to overdo it. I put the extra layer on and wow what a
difference. My hips and legs felt loose
and light and I really enjoyed the run home.
I think I could have even gone a little further. This going to be happening again.
So here we
are at week 3 (8 weeks to go)
Sunday - Bike (big fat fail)
Monday – Run and
swimTuesday - turbo trainer for 40 minutes and possible run depending on hip
Wednesday – turbo trainer hill session
Thursday - Swim and run
Friday – Turbo and run.
Saturday - possible run, swim, run but need to make sure I have a rest day.
Have you done
anything that you have surprised yourself at recently?
Good luck to
the Boston Marathon runners.
