8 AM
Swimming 45:00 [3] 3.0 km (4.0 kph)

Another Savage Sunday
Not the best swim - faster than I've done one of these efforts before, but still no where near where I should be :'(
500 warm up
12*25 hard on 30s
2000 straight (29:35)
200 cool down

9 AM
Road cycling 1:15:58 [4] 38.72 km (30.6 kph) +205m
ahr:130 max:151
Steady out to Ladies Mile for some time trial efforts
20 minutes around the TT course (143 bpm) then 5 minutes break, and then another one. The second one I did as one lap around the course and then pushing hard back home until Wynberg Girls. Unfortunately I got caught up in a couple of traffic lights, so not as even as I'd have liked (140 bpm)

Running 42:57 [4] 10.5 km (4:05 / km)
ahr:136 max:151 shoes: Saucony Kinvara 8
Finishing the triathlon off. 20 minutes hard (3:44/km) and then easy until the end. Quite windy, so feeling really comfortable with the wind behind me, and having to work a bit harder into the wind. Pretty happy to be able to run that pace without having to kill myself after a tough morning

6 AM
Road cycling 4:00:00 [3] 116.5 km (29.1 kph) +620m
ahr:114 max:138 slept:6.5
A bit of a mad start to the morning. Ryan bailed on me, then rushed to Constantia VA, only to realise they started at 7...
Rode up to Rhodes Drive, along to the Creamery, then Main Road and then usual way to Constantia VA. With MTD past the point to Kommetjie, and then I carried on through Fish Hoek back home. Fairly easy most of the way - just what I needed :)

A bit of a slog. Ben was supposed to come with me, and then decided against it in the morning - that was mentally tough
Up to top gate, along Rhodes drive, through Die Hel, down the greenbelts all the way to the bottom (including the stretch the parkrun covers) and then back home. A few strides to end off
I've also done huge mileage recently (105kms in the last 8 days) which will hopefully make me strong, but at the moment it's just leaving me a bit tired :P
