One week since London Triathlon

August 9th, 2009 by Will

It’s been a good week really. Been a bit tired at times, but London didn’t massively bite me in the ass like it should have and races normally do!

You can’t lose much fitness but you could gain a bit in 2 weeks so thats what I have been doing ahead of the London World Championships Series. I did 2 easy rides and 2 really hard rides including a chaingang and 6×5mins on the road. 4 easy swims and 6 runs. Yesterday was a tough day (was sick at the end:) did 2hrs on the road including 6×5mins hard. 2hrs later I did a session on my kilometer loop of 12×1k, trying to spend time at 20kph. I went 4 sets of (3:05, 2:58 and 2:55) with no standing rest, just a 200m jog recovery. I thought that was good running considering the session in the morning.

I’m really looking forward to London World Champs series coming home. It’s going to be amazing racing in the Olympic venue and have all the best guys in the world racing over in London. I would have thought with where the sport is at right now, it would be the most exciting Triathlon ever seen in the UK. So head over and give the Brits a cheer! Or catch it on BBC. Where I hear it will be live for the whole 2hrs!

Stu and I went swimming yesterday…pool was closed so we drove to the nearest lake…We got in 30mins but after 2 mins someone was shouting at us to get out! Why can’t we just be free to use the lakes in England! Going to do this more often I think!
