Will inspired me to get out in the lovely weather rather than flog myself in the gym. I've never done a specific hill session on a bike before, so decided to give it a go. Foxhall and Greenhouse Lane descending via Mayfield. Managed 3 into a strong headwind, which didn't make life any easier, completely popped at the end of the final effort. 6.33, 6.38, 6.27. Descents in about 3.30.
Terrible night's sleep and felt dreadful today. Ran out of time for the gym at lunch so foolishly thought I would try a short jog. Then added in a few drills (just exercises, no strides or sprints). That was a bad idea and SI and bum were hurting at a low level on the jog back.
Back in the pool, urghhh. Managed a bit more again today and going a bit more easily once I had got going. It takes me about 20 lengths to remember how to swim without drowning, after that it goes quite quickly.

Warm up and down on the crosstrainer.

And a short run on the treadmill. Kept the gradient up at 8.5% for the first half, short walk then reduced the gradiend to 7.5% and upped the speed for the second half. OK I think.
