Tri Training! LOL!

Ok so if I do this tri I have just over a week! I say if because I have had no reply to my mail saying I would like to do it but I am very very slow!

Last night, as I will be tonight, I was in the pool. I tried to do some "quality lengths!". It seems I can consistently keep a good pace doing breast stroke (60m (2 lengths) consistently in about 1min 4-45) and I can do that for ages. When I start front crawl I can do 2-3 lengths at about 1:50 then get slower until I can't do any more! I managed 10 lengths continuous front crawl and by the time I finished my 60m was taking just over 2mins!!

It total I did 1920m bring my nessie challenge to 274lengths! Another hour in the pool.

Today I will be doing the same ... but in my Enel and shorts!!

Tomorrow I will be running at lunchtime and then tomorrow night we are going down south. This means no weekend training which isn't too bad as I would have trained for several days .. in fact I would have done something every day since last Saturday so 7 days!!

Next week hubby is on mornings so I am on the morning school run ... will try to get on my exercise bike and tready before school if I can and hopefully get the bike out itself!! Gulp!!

you can always put a dri-fit type t-shirt over your enell if you feel a bit,er, exposed. (that's what I did when I did my one and (so far) only tri)

why not go out on the bike in the morning instead of being cooped up in the garage?

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

Sensible Head

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

Planning Ahead

All good plans and all that! A few weeks ago I detailed my planned races as follows: Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp Feb - Bramley 10m (poss) April - Reading Half April - FLM Support May - Moonwalk Marafun (if I get in!) Sept - Robinhood Half Oct - Great South Run (poss) This is now Jan - Brass Monkey Half Feb - Trail Plus Training Camp April - Reading Half April - FLM Support GSR is only a vague poss now as hubby is working nights so won't get home until the early hours of Saturday so I can't leave Gnome! Which means I would have to travel down Saturday afternoon which isn't the best preparation for a race and PB attempt! So it now looks like I will need to either make this another mainly training year (not a bad thing!) or look for some local races! At this rate it won't be worth joining club in March as I will have nothing to enter and save money off entry fees!! Hey Ho and all that!! Now tomorrow ... hope to do a quick shop 1st thing (new sca...
