An easy week.

I wanted to have an easy week as my legs were feeling tired, at this stage in the season I don't want to push to hard and hurt myself or come into peak fitness at about the end of January.
So Monday I did the usual Bike ride the weather was colder so out with the big gloves and a hat, once under way the temperature was OK, we did 30.8 miles at an easy pace I did most of the ride over geared to try and put some strength in my legs,

Tuesday I went for an 8 mile run at an easy pace didn't use a watch just ran at what felt like an easy pace.

Wednesday was the last night for now I had to work, next week I plan to start the swim session at St Felix, hopefully that will kick start my swimming again for the winter.

Thursday I did the usual bike ride to start although the weather turned for the worse about half way round the first lap the heavens opened and we were properly soaked it was good training for triathlon as was like open water swimming and biking at the same time with no need for transition, the pace on the bike was slower than usual due to the wind and rain, off the bike I found myself on my own for the run as the rest of the boys decided to call it a night and go home for dry clothes, I changed my socks and went for a run although didn't get far I only did a mile and decided to go home for shower, well I was planning to have an easy week anyway!!!

Friday I didn't do anything other than drive the car and ferry kids about.

Saturday went for a run in the morning with Joe, we did 1.75 miles as a fartlek session then a couple of 400m reps Joe set a good pace on the reps at 85 seconds per rep. Then out for a ride on the MTB with a few of the lads round a slightly shorter River Hundred route, a total of about 25 miles at a steady pace.

Sunday I went sailing, there was a bit of a breeze so enough to do a bit of hiking which I'll put down as core strength training!

The end of an easy week, legs to be honest don't feel any better so I'll get back on with training as usual next week, 1 more week at work before the Christmas holiday and hopefully a bit more time to get some decent training sessions in. If the weather continues as it is at the moment I may even get on the Turbo trainer for a session in a strange way I'm looking forward to getting a good sweat on and catching up with some dvd watching, Crocket and Tubbs haven't been out of the box yet this year!
