Sports Centre triathlon training

Alright peeps!

Last night, or should I say, yesterday afternoon, I drank an awful lot of Cider and Wine, in the name of friendship!
Couple of pints with the lovely Keils at lunchtime and then a BBQ with good friends Mark and Beth celebrating the new location for their business, and that of others.

It was a lovely evening, hopefully arranged to do some more life modelling for some classes and had a right old giggle! Come 10pm I was done in and bed beckoned.

This morning, awoken by a howling puppy! Managed to get him out of the front door in time for an onslaught of pee! Good work! (his, not mine)

Came back from the dog walk and a had another tiny napette before thinking of training.

Biggest mistake today - lack of food so lack of energy. Will I ever practice what I preach?!

Anyway today I thought I'd have a little triathlon practice at Totnes Pavilions. It's never going to be as good as outside but it was pissing it down and I thought a nice controlled session could give me an idea of timing?

The biggest problem is that the bikes are not the best, increase level and you get a slower time, it's not like changing gear so I found myself peddling like crazy to get anywhere!
The swim was easy as the pool wasn't busy and of course is never going to be the same as a sea swim, ever!
I struggled by the time I got to the running due to a lack of energy from my lack of food. Next time I will do better!

But I did it, hangover and everything else, I managed it!

Here are the controlled sports centre, hungover times!

Swim - 750m - 19 minutes

Bike - 21k - 36.13 minutes

Run - 5k - 23 minutes

I have 6 weeks to go now and I have to say I am bricking it to be honest!

More training required! So that's what I shall do!

Remember, you get nowhere by sitting on your arse doing nothing!
