Weekly Update 2

I sit here covered in compression kit wondering if today's ride was perhaps a tad too much considering I'm racing in 13 hours (see how I use the medium of blogging to get my excuses in early - that way I can simply refer people to the blog tomorrow!).

The aching aside its been a tough week:

Monday was another win in the Hillingdon evening series, I led from the start and posted a reasonable time. A poor T1 stopped me dipping under 38 minutes, there's always next time.

The bike has received the least attention this week, a turbo, the duathlon and a ride today, not much going on just keeping things ticking over nicely.

Swimming is getting better and better - 11k this week with some really strong wetsuit work. I'm fortunate that a wetsuit makes such a positive difference to my swim but this season the change is incredible, I'm taking several seconds off each length. Role on the open water fun in a couple of weeks - at least the weather has warmed up!

Not sure where to begin with running... the Dave Knight session from hell followed me until Wednesday. Running on Sunday and Tuesday was horrible, my calves let out a small yelp at every step. Luckily it cleared up by the end of the week and Friday's track session was good - 6 x 1200m of 4:05. Not too shabby I thought.

Race report from Thames Turbo ASAP after the finish tomorrow and well done to everyone who raced at the Hillingdon Duathlon yesterday and good luck to anyone racing tomorrow.
