This is it, the last week before Europeans. Last week was tough training wise and I am looking forward to my rest day tomorrow. I have been on the torturous sweat machine (Watt Bike) far too much this week! Friday night wasn't your normal Friday evening; it consisted of many mini Duathlons (partly in the dark) with my coach Dan Sims. The main focus was practising my transitions (you can make up a lot of time with a smooth transition in a race). They are finally getting smoother, though there was a humorous moment where I lost my cycle shoe just before descending down the steep Pixet Hill.
Yesterday was a mock race and today was a swift 10k run. Legs were pretty tired though and I didn't make all the splits :(
Aside from training, this weekend I've been getting to know my bike; giving it a good clean and hugging it in bubble wrap ready for the pick up today.

I am also gearing up for the triathlon season to come. I have a bit of a fear of swimming in open water which I plan to conquer. My wet suit arrived, first impressions it is tight, hot and hard to take on and off. Hopefully this means it will keep me warm. So I had a trying on session and tested it in the garden lake...
Mango doesn't look impressed! |
Now what to do with very little training this week....
The plan eat well, sleep well and keep the legs ticking over!
