Becoming the kind of person who I always disparaged for doing cardio in the gym when it was nice weather outside, good grief

Call it a brick session, then it sounds more pro. Jelly legs for about 500m, then all good other than being rather hungry

Never actually done all 7 in a row before, so that was a nice thing to tick off. Sketchy line off Craiglockhart to get some excitement in, Matt sliding down uncontrollably on his bum was a real treat
Saturday May 22, 2021 #
Cycling 1:30:22 [3]
Have now passed the magic milestone of managing to update my Attackpoint (and train consistently) for an entire year.
Coincidently, probably the fittest I've ever been - turns out training works? People ought to be told about this revelation!

Then jogged to Rona's to get my bike back - it'd had a sleepover there to avoid being spotted by the flat inspector
Monday May 17, 2021 #
Swimming 14:05 [1] 0.5 km (28:10 / km)
All fine when I tried a couple lengths of breaststroke, but I really couldn't be bothered doing more of that nonsense

A lovely day for it, sun shining and birds singing.
No Matt this morning, he was too much of a hungover mess, so just flying solo
Saturday May 15, 2021 #
Cycling 2:00:05 [2]
Probably ought to have done this outside, but the forecast had been for rain, and I didn't want to cancel yet another gym booking having cancelled various swims - not sure if it's unlimited cancels and don't want to find out

Not swimming for a few days, hopefully give the shoulder a chance to recover a bit. Then will build it up nice and slow, will start doing drills etc.
Just gotta be able to not drown in September, plenty time yet to manage that
Thursday May 13, 2021 #
Cycling 1:01:30 [3]
Undid all my progress from Saturday and forgot both headphones and a towel, whoops.
Do now have the ability to clip in though, very nice.
4x6 minutes Z3 [3 minutes]
Wednesday May 12, 2021 #
Swimming 14:38 [1] 0.5 km (29:16 / km)

Run intervals 59:19 [4] 10.7 km (5:33 / km) +120m 5:15 / km

Blackford Hill was slightly on fire, so the Hermitage was a bit smoky. Luckily the intervals field was upwind so didn't have to pollute my lungs doing the session
Big rests were nice, and suffered sufficiently on the reps

Lovely stuff, back through some diagonals on the Meadows for some variety
Swimming 39:37 [2] 1.6 km (24:46 / km)
Getting the hang of it, but will have to start working on some technique sooner rather than later
Sharing a lane with Peds, what a treat
Saturday May 8, 2021 #
Cycling 1:30:10 [3]
Need to buy myself some look keo cleats so I can clip in - cheaper than a turbo at least!

There isn't really anything interesting to say about swimming
Thursday May 6, 2021 #
Cycling 1:03:44 [3]
They've taken the fans away, which is not ideal

Wednesday May 5, 2021 #
Cycling 58:15 [2] 26.8 km (27.6 kph) +200m

No flats this time which is nice. Ultra busy coming back into town, not too surprising really

Lots of thrashing from me, with a few moments of clarity

Back on the old golf course for the first time in a while, legs very confused by faster running
10x1 minute [2 minutes]
A lovely sunny evening for it, weather came nice in the end
Cycling 30:16 [1]
shoes: Eastway R3
So had to fix it first, then rolled for half an hour instead cause was getting hungry by then
Monday May 3, 2021 #
Note
weight:77.9kg (rest day)
Triathlon training plan starts properly this week, will stick to it as best I can - will need to change the swims though, at least for a little while! Hopefully in a couple months will be competent enough to manage the sessions
Sunday May 2, 2021 #
Run 1:30:42 [2] 17.16 km (5:17 / km) +220m 4:58 / km
shoes: Waverider TT
Bumped into Todge, Finn and Noah, so hopped in with them for a bit. Very nice day for it, fun in the sun.
Feeling kinda pooped this afternoon, need more beauty sleep
Saturday May 1, 2021 #
Swimming 19:14 [1] 0.55 km (34:58 / km)
Actually did some swimming this time, but it was rather hard work. Quite stop starty, but good to do a bit more, and mercifully not too cold.
Lots of improvements to be made, hopefully will get there before too long!
Cycling 57:58 [2] 26.82 km (27.8 kph) +200m

Absolutely hoaching with cars, bring back lockdown and quiet roads ;o
