tri training

tuesday did long steady 2 in the pool 3k had a really good swim in haverfordwest pool. The swimming club were in the other lanes going at warp speed . fast. I had a lane all to myself.

Felt a bit crappy in the evening but planned to do an interval run on the beach. Drove down with the dog tide in. did a very easy jog for an hour

wednesday. fitted the new corima disc wheel. and headed off to red berth 10mtt. Didn’t feel amazing on the ride over. But hey ho .lets get on with it. usually suspects were there and the mighty james shaw was there too. Ended up starting a min behind escobar. Off we go. Felt ok when i was out there. power output seemed higher. Caught Shane for a min in 3.5 miles then picked up a few more. Finished in 24 mins dead. Was a bit disappointed with that. Still got third . Will won it 22.58, john regain 2nd 23.39. so was closer to those two than last week. The man that everyone is looking over their shoulder for was, once again, tom close who seems to be getting faster and faster. 24.14 this week for a well deserved 4th.
rode home with shane who was a bit down on his time .

thursday. new tri spoke front wheel arrived .nice,did random session 5 in the pool. Again another excellent swim. Didn’t much feel like running again but headed out and had a stormer . 9 miles 8 min per mile. hill intervals. 5 times from the flat of freshest beach to stoney cross. Was flying up the hill. Then a hard interval on the hill going home and another on the flat at the top.
