Testing the water... bike and road
As well as my normal training this week I have attempted to swim, bike and run the full distances of the triathlon. Not at the same time, one activity per day.The results are in: I'm a bit crap!
Another err... minor issue is that I did all of this training in the comfort of my gym. Not outside in the cold with hills, wind and other competitors. You never know the triathlon could have random tv's dotted around with MTV playing and a juice bar?
The only way is up?I added an extra five lengths to the swim as I won't have the luxury of being able to kick off each end of the pool when swimming in open water. After a measly four lengths of front crawl I changed to the more sustainable breast stroke, I could be the only nanna stroke swimming triathlete on the day but I don't care.The bike test went surprisingly well, it took a bit longer than I would have liked but overall not too shabby.Run forest run! I think I've found my weakest discipline. This was hard. Very hard. Probably the longest length I've ever run and it felt like it. Legs were like jelly when I stepped off the treadmill. This week has been a positive one. Little steps n'all that. I can't help think that, although I completed each distance, I was in no fit state to do anything afterwards never mind more intense exercise.
