With time to reflect on the fritton tri result I am reasonably happy with my result, I was disappointed with my bike time, this is something I will focus my training on.
So this week started on Monday with a session on the turbo trainer for half an hours solid work then straight off the bike and out for a run around the block, this was run as hard as I could go. This went well I am now quite comfortable running off the bike, I just need to sort out the swim to bike transition.
Tuesday I went for a X country run after work, did 4.5 miles in 32.57 which is an average pace of 7.18/ mile, felt good, running well again.
Wednesday night went to the Lotus road race again, another enjoyable night on the bike, Rock estate numbers are steadily growing at this event, We covered 30.54 miles at an average speed of 25.2mph, didn't get away with the winning break but rode well in the main peleton and even had a couple of quick goes on the front just to show willing. Confidence is starting to grow at these events now and I feel more confident that I can have a go at riding with some of the quicker breaks and hold on for a while, although I'm not sure how long I'll last.
Thursday was the second fritton aquathlon,(pooly represented by the Rock estate boys only 3 entries) had a bad swim, I didn't sight well and went off to fast, was knackered by the time I came out of the water, run wasn't to bad after the first mile and my legs came back. We then went for a bike ride round the island, not sure of the distance or speed but felt good, not to tired from the race on Wednesday.
Friday missed the scores run but did find time for a 2.8 miler round the block, started quite slowly and went faster through the run, last mile run at 6.03 pace.
Saturday we took Joe to compete in the north Norfolk junior tri, had a good day but unfortunately no prizes, I may need to up Joe's training schedule and enforce some form of punishment if he refuses to comply!!!!
Sunday, went out for a ride round the island on the time trial bike, did the 23.9 miles in 1.03.14 which is an average speed of 22.7 mph was quite a hard ride with a good head wind out to Beccles but the made good time from Beccles back home avg speeds of about 26 mph for the last 6 miles.
Then in the afternoon went out for a gentle ride on the MTB with the boys we rode over to Somerleyton and even stopped for a quiet pint.
All in all a good week for training, need to get some swim to bike training in, will try and start that next Saturday.
