Running warm up/down 12:00 [1]
Went to the track at 9.30am to teach another girl how to steeplechase. But she didn't show. So I warmed up and did my drills myself, before going in and signing up for triathlon cuppers.
Warm down after cuppers as well- a few times around the track.

Swimming race 3:10 [3]
200m swim as the first part of the 'aquathalon'. I caught the guy in front of me, which meant it was a bit slower- was just the last 15m or so.
Running race 11:40 [4]
3.5k ish run bit for the aquathalon. Woo running! I may have put my top on backwards in the transition. Oops. =)
Drills 10:00 [1]
Streched and then hurdle drills before the aquathalon.
Swimming 45:00 [3]
In the afternoon. Did the swimming set sent out to the tri club on Friday. Tough stuff!
2 x (200 @ breathe every 5, 100 whatever, 200 @ breathe every 7)
3 x (400, 100, 100)
6 x 50
200
=3.3k total
Probably the most I've ever swum in a session. I think.

Cycling 45:00 [2]
On the spinning bike at the gym = boring, but good workout. Luckily Amber joined me for the second half- so so so much more interesting to talk away! =)
Running 14:47 [1]
Just around the track- tough to switch to running like that right away! Will have to practice that more. Chatted with Jon and Michelle afterwards- they'd just done 8 x 400, being quite quick!

Swimming 35:00 [3]
Whoa- butt seriously kicked by one little Miss Leach! She suggested 8 x 200, then we ended up doing 10 x 200. So with a 200 warm up and 100 cool down (during which my right lat cramped) was a long session for me!
Running warm up/down 20:00 [1]
Showed up at track, changed and onto warmup with Maire and Clare. Warm down afterwards too...
Running intervals (Track) 13:33 [5]
10 x 400, everyother one with hurdles, first half in trainers, second half in steeplechase spikes. Minute recovery.

Felt mostly ok, a vicious wind on the home straight though!!! Still very much more comfy hurdling one side than the other, but can do both. Should work on that side!!

Cycling 25:00 [1]
Cycling- including to gym and then on the spinning bike.
Cycling 20:00 [3]
4 x 5 min on the spinning bike
So much lactic acid pain in the quads. It's amazing it can hurt so much when you're not even breathing hard.

Running warm up/down 32:30 [1]
Warm up to track, few times around it with Clare and Josephine, then recoveries between intervals and back to New College, where my new astrophysics books had arrived! Woo!
Running intervals 10:32 [5]
Track session! After hurdle drills
800 w/hurdles- 2.53 (in lane 3)
800 flat- 2.40 (fast!)
400 w/h- 79 (in lane 3, but starting from 400 line)
400 flat- 80 (ummm.... getting tired, I guess! should be faster w/o hurdles!)
200 w/h- 36.1
200 flat- 33.9
200 w/h- 36.0
200 flat- 34.3
Ran the flat ones with Clare, the hurdle ones we did staggered so as to not kill each other. She's quick, but that fast 800 I dropped her after the first lap, should have known it was too quick!

Cycling 50:00 [2]
To Brill, with Rich. He's much faster than me on the bike! Especially up hills.
Orienteering race 40:00 [4] 6.0 km (6:40 / km)
Not actually sure how long it took at all. But was a big of a goof a fair bit. So tempting to not focus because I know the area well. Fun to run though!!!
Cycling 25:00 [2]
Cycling back from Brill- and tyre exploded shortly after Horton-cum-Studley. Bummer. More of a gradual pfffff than the real gun-shot sound explosion of last time. Luckily Ian came by and used his phone to get a lift home from Ed. Plan foiled!

Tried to go at 7.30 in the morning, but was a bank holiday. Had to go back at 9. Swam the 750 in 12.55 pretty comfortably, so think I'm getting faster!
