TRIATHLON TRAINING CAMP

had sunday off.Toyed with the idea of going for a run but nahh.

Monday .Back in the pool and feeling pretty good. Did 3 k and moving well. Was chasing down kdb which is always a good sign ,it wasn’t all one way traffic and i had a couple of ankle taps from her as well.

Went to work. Slacky has separated chippy and i after chippy came at me with a bit of 4 by 2 on friday. I was quite surprised how aggressive the pair of us were. Poor Arry ,first day on the job didn’t know wtf was going on.

Went to turbo with ollie in the evening. Was tough. there was still plenty of of saturdays ride in my legs. Did 1 x 10 m 75 % warm up. Then 2 x 5 mins at 75 to 80 3 x 3 mins at 80 to 85 then 3x 1 min balls to the wall sick in a bag. Or something along those lines. Was tough. But pleased to get it done.

Giffo was there in good form and a couple of other lads all in good humour. Ollie has dropped out of the welsh 25mtt this weekend as he’s double booked racing overseas. I think i am going to do the preseli angel with james. He is chomping at the bit for revenge from the tour of pembs .And the 25 will be less than an hour. The angel is 80 hard miles. Which is about the right distance to blitz all the way.

Tuesday back in the pool and felt a bit crappy to start off with but finished ok. Not a bad session but it hurt. Worked and had a micro sleep before going out on a run. Felt much better than i thought i would . Down to fresh then across the dunes .there was a cool little 2 foot wave and all the boys were out. Headed off on the coast path. Still yet to get to east angle blockhouse and ended up back on the road at the angle turn off. Ran home on the road and averaged well under 7mins per mile . 11.5 MILES average 7min 15 secs per mile. Was well pleased with that as haven’t run for nearly 2 weeks. Almost enjoyed it.

starting to consider sea swims at this time.

The dishes are done but the fridge is empty.today was bin day

Sunday wasn’t entirely unproductive. I finally set up the electric fence to keep pinky and perky in their pen. Words cannot describe the feeling i had when they both walked into the fence and got a belt. kinda a smug euphoria . this was my time. i laughed and laughed and laughed, i couldn’t get enough of it.better than anything you will watch on tv. they only did it once more but i stood watching for a long time. It still brings a smile to my face when i hear the squeal throughout the day when one of them has ‘forgot’ little bastards! Not sure what the local community made of me shouting’fuck you’ and laughing at a pair of very dejected looking pigs

its a rest day tomorrow and the mighty gareth powell and i have volunteered to time keep at the pembs velo 10mtt. We have had a meeting and decided it is an excellent idea to have 5 or 6 pints of stella before hand. We think an outsider might win it.
