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?

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

To Swim or Not To Swim

That's my pondering today! Yesterday I had a bit of a headache and today I woke with the stick slightly sore "cold" like throat. Then when I was at work I felt that coldy icky yucky feeling. I've eaten now and feel better in that the icky feeling has gone but still got the head and the throat. Swimming stuff is in the car as I was planning a 40 mins pool jogging session. Now I don't know. Will see how I feel later on. I want to swim but then I also don't want to make any lurgy that I may be harbouring any worse! We'll see! So did you guess??? Yes of course I went! Well it was just me head and if I was running outside I would have run! Anyway 55mins of which 40 was pool running and then several good lengths of swimming which is starting to feel good and fitness for swimming is improving too! Now I have a stinking headache and can confirm my throat feels like crap! That may have been my last exercise for a few days :-( Other news .. I wasn't going to say...

Gulp

I'm strangely nervous about tomorrow. I know it's only 2.5m (x2!) but there will only be a max of 50 runners per leg (only 45 teams last year I think). I'm sure my 12mm pace will be last. I have a lovely casserole (loadsa spuds!) for tea tonight and 2 glasses of wine. I'm now on the non-alcoholic fluids. The lucozade is ready to make and I'm still not sure what to wear! I was going for shorts and vest. Then capri legs and crop top/vest but I'm not sure! If I'm cold/cool I will run faster! But then I don't want to burn up and crash or freeze waiting for the start. If I wear layers will I be too hot .... blah blah blah. Help!! Still not sure what to do "gadget wise". Just watch and guess extra mileage, GPS and stop/start with each warm up, race and cool down, HRM and GPS or just HRM and watch!??!! I'm thinking that I will do leg 1 (1.5m) as a warm up leaving before the race to make sure I am ready. Then stop for some stretches and strides. Th...
