Training Log Archive: NSW Stinger

paddle on the pondage after the triathlon. Shoulders in particular Left were very tired to begin but got a bit better as I went on. Felt pretty weak though.

LVTC Sprint Trialthlon.
500m swim, 24km bike, 5km run.
Very disorganised this morning, wasted too much time trying to convince Kathryn to race. Left my wallet at home. And my cycling shoes. I tried to fit into Hahny's size 8 shoes but not much chance so just rode in runners.
Swim was ok. Without wetsuit so past a few in transition and headed onto the bike after Andrew Crozier. Got passed by Bevo and sat behind him for a km before I blew going up the power station hill. Really felt the lack of shoes on the hills and into the wind where you needed more power. Still I hoped of the bike and was in sight of Bevo mostly because of his poor transition. The gap was about 1min and I held it for the first half but suffered up the hill and probably dropped 30secs to him. Never saw Crozier but he finished in a pretty good time about 3mins in front.
Bike split at 36,1kph was pretty good I thought. But my run time was 45secs slower than last time I raced back in April. But my total time was about 40secs faster, probably all attributed to the new bike. And last race was only 2weeks after a 4day race so that was quite a good race in retrospect.

slow jog after work to see if my legs still worked.

Had a couple of off days and while I went to work I couldn't be bothered attempting a training session.

evening run with Kathryn, John, Darrel and Liz around the boring streets of Traralgon. Though John kept us entertained with his usual drivel. Did a few surges in there to get the legs moving.

morning run to Mt St Gwinear and back. Stopped a few times on the way back to fieldwork a bit of the map update. Nice sunny day, but the clouds came back again in the arvo.
