60k running including a 20 miler at sub 3hr marathon pace;
300k on the bike including a 4.5hr effort in some terrible wind on Sunday;
14k in the pool/lake.
What has hit me this week is that I have placed all my eggs in one basket this season. As I left the Hillingdon crit on Tuesday having finished about 6/7th (I think) I uttered my old mantra of "it's OK, I'm going long this season". How many times has that been my excuse so far, both in the blog and in my head at the end of any race over a shorter distance.
It was only this week that the usual "what ifs?" started to enter my head. The seeds of doubt which were no doubt planted a while ago are starting to grow and I can only hope that in 2 weeks time at the Cow Man I'm not left repeating the same thing because then it just won't cut it. It's not my A race for sure but it's a massive indicator on my road map to IMUK and failure at this point is going to be pretty difficult to rationalise. That said the training is going steady and well... I just hope its steady and well enough...
Hillingdon tri this weekend (assuming I haven't missed the cut off time) as a tune up for Cow Man.
