The weekend training was good - Union on Saturday left me with a sore foot (still), a bloody nose, and a fat right arm.
The plan for an early morning cycle was initially well received, I've gotta admit that at 6am Sunday morning the last thing I wanted to do was get on the bike. Legs were sore, I couldn't breath very well through my nose, it was dark, and more importantly it was f-ing cold.
TBH it wasn't too bad once I got started - The deer that ran out in front of me definitely woke me up, as did the climbs. 36 miles wasn't too shabby, and the 1689ft climbing definitely had the desired effect. I actually enjoy climbing, and although I took them easy (the climb from Seaton to Glaston was a whole 2 mins slower than my PB set back in 2013) they should prove a good base for some winter miles.
Yesterdays swim was ace. Decided to save my legs slightly as the foot was still sore (damn props standing on my beautiful toes) and swum with a pull buoy for the 1000m. Pace was great, pull felt great, body position in the water was great. Tomorrows will therefore be an utter clusterfck of poor breathing and slow swimmers getting in my way ;-)
Run today, with possible bodyweight session in the gym if I've got enough time.
Happy days, even the suns out.
Might even order some new kit!
