Just a review on my training progress to date:
Swimming = Cut my strokes per length from 17-18 to 13-14 and cut about 14secs off my 50m time!!
Cycling = Hmm.... on the way to work on my 1st recorded trip and my 1st recorded trip home they seem to be the quickest compared to subsequent trips?? Something to investigate as to what has changed or am I using less effort? Maybe it's the bike ;o)
Running = Can't see the exact figures as the nike plus website won't load! But I do know I've been trimming time off my 5k each time I do it. I will be jumping for joy when I get my time under 20mins!
It's been a good few weeks and I understand that's all that it is. It's going to takes 100's of swims, bike rides and runs to become competitive and that's where I want to head.
I recently bought this months 220 magazine (my subscription doesn't start til next month) and from there I can see there is a plethora of races to choose from up and down the country. I'm still looking through which ones I want to do, but roughly in my head I want to do 2 to 3 sprint triathlons and 1 olympic distance triathlon.
I'm also looking at different triathlon clubs to join. The most convenient would be
Cardiff Triathlon Club although they don't update their website very often. I'll probably just go along for a chat.
Also from 220 magazine I saw a lot of equipment that I'd love to have but until I can justify it I'll hold off buying it, as it can get a bit expensive. I'm really looking forward to getting a road bike and I think that will be the next major purchase.
Here's my updated training schedule with the added swim session on Sat.
