Datchet again

Datchet was a great deal quieter yesterday as many who went a few weeks ago had been preparing for the London Tri. Still I was up with other crackpots at 06:30 diving in and swimming.

Surprised myself again swimming this time 2250m in exactly 45mins. The loop is a 750m out and back and so three of those in what was reasonably cold water in 45mins was very pleasing.

Bought a new wet suit - I look like an alien in it but it does seem to work. Pure neoprene. And it makes a huge difference.

So last week I ran, swam and cycled. In fact I swam 1500m on Thursday am and then cycled 85km that evening. I also ran 40km last week so pretty pleased.

Back in the pool

Last week was a diet of swimming and cycling. Over 150km cycle which in truth should have been much more and about 4.000m swimming. Running - about 20km. I am going to get a spreadsheet up on here that I can keep a record of what I have done. The running is not going as well as it should at present partly because I still feel a bit sore but also because having run a few marathons I think I know how to train for that bit. OK, I didn't run any of my marathons after swimming 3.8km and cycling 180km but that's just detail......

After a weekend of fun and games it's now back to the training with a 2.500m swim this morning.

Foot still hurting

As I am still suffering from PF in the left foot, the running is taking back seat to swimming and cycling. Ran 8km yesterday and while it is not so bad, it still niggles me. So this morning went and joined my pensioner friends at the pool and swam 2.500m in 54 mins. Very pleased with that - but worried that my foot is going to be a pain up until next summer.

While the foot is healing it is a good chance to get a good swim and cycle base I suppose.

KT being beautiful and acting tall.......

Pretending to be taller than me.......but I still love you xxxx

70km cycle ride today.......

and got lost. Not doing that again as I found myself going along a motorway type of road with people hooting me to get off! Well once you have gone 1km you just have to keep going and get off at the next exit don't you!
