Triathlon Training Blog,Uncategorized, Monday, June 2nd, 2014Last monday
Sea swim on the bank holiday with KDB Johhnie et all. Was a good little swim, swam out to a yacht in the bay was pretty cold. Although i did get scolded by KDB for not swimming in the group.
Turbo with olly was a tough one. 3 mins at 100% ftp 2 mins at 110 then 1 min at 120%.
90,60,30 secs rest in between . 5 sets
Was pretty flogged on tuesday so moved my rest day from wednesday and had the tuesday off instead.
Wednesday. Sea Swim at fresh east in the afternoon. Was mid tide on the push and reckon i was still punching some tide on the swim back in from the boats. The reaper was anchored out there and i had a moment when i passed her .There was someone crabbing on her and throwing the carcasses over the side. I love being in the water oiled up in fish guts swimming with fish bigger than me. Such a comfortable feeling.
Feeling guilty about my running so went out and ran 18 miles off the cuff like you do.instead of the doing the 10m tt as planned. It was steady 8.30 minute miles. Did the old pembs velo hilly 17 course although decided to cut though orielton estate that went really well and only got lost the 4 times. Relaxing that.
thursday
Went out with Alex of joe 90 fame on a team time trial practice. He was fully disc wheeled up and full racing kit. I wasn’t. Still i got a bit of a hiding as we bombed along from cosh to carew, tenby then onto pembroke. Mr 90 was laying the power on and rode me off his wheel at one point.
There’s been a lot of fannying around about this 4 up so i decided under 90’s prompting to pick my own team. This was based solely on the individuals who were definitely ‘in’ not ummming and rrring about it. Announced to the world on fb my new team manager aspirations . Don’t think sky will be calling anytime soon. But i gave the kings shilling to me,90, Pepperami and Ben griffiths. Who hasn’t got an alias just yet so we’ll just call him the Spaniard for now.
It did put officer dibbles nose out of joint but as usual someone had to be the villain and once again it was me.Dibble threatened an arrest.
Friday
Another sea swim at fresh east . Faired much better and got a longer distance in.Out for an hrs run after
Saturday
After working all morning went on a jolly with fab to tenby we didn’t buy an ice cream or walk hand in hand along the promenade but did get 3 hrs z2 in on the bike. 430 start in the morning. Fab has hired a van probably for half the price he told us and sold me a stolen pair of goggles this week too.
