Quick one this week....
Monday -
Rest Day - planned..felt weird but good to give the body a break..
Tuesday -
Swim AM -- took Bridie for her first ever mid week morning session - trooper got up at 4.50am and we're out the door for the 5.30am start...she enjoyed it heaps..
Think I did 3.3k ???
PM Run - 1hr 45...man, what a run...ran from work (Raffles) to Narrows then South Perth. Nearly made it to the Causeway, turned into the head wind and thought - "I am a long way from work here !!..if anything goes wrong I'm screwed !! "
Made it back with a negative split and again happy with effort. Super commuters on the bike path all drafting their little hearts out..bless 'em all
Wednesday -
Bike - 84k ??? - same route as the last few weeks RTR... just over 3 hours. Rolled out from work early and finished in the ever increasing daylight
Thursday -
Holidays !! oh yeah !!
Up for a 5.30 swim session, trooper Bridie once again got up and we got out the door ....she joined her squad which only a couple of devo team members were there......man, she did look tired tho'. Again good on her for giving these sessions a go.....will see how this goes once school starts...good to try now in the school holidays
Another 3.3k set for me with 3 x 1k TT's - did them in 17.00 to 18.00 I think...
Home by 8am, breakie for the both of us, then off to the Royal Show. Had a brilliant day out with Shell and the kids....walked loads and saw pretty much everything. Aiden loved it !! ....he got to take so much in this time ! Ate way loads of junk and didn't feel one bit of guilts !! Home by 5pm and all family members knackered !
Friday -
Decided to run instead of spin session on home trainer as planned - figured a 1hr45 run would be more beneficial than a low heart rate 2 hour spin set. Ran upto to Quinns and back.....all good. Then got van ready to take away for the weekend
Saturday/Sunday -
No training...away
Fontys Pool in Manjimup - blinkin' rained the minute we pulled upto on site to the minite we hooked the van back up to leave (the sun even had the cheek to come out as we left !!)
Left to come back a day early as the rain was really depressing and just didn't look like it was goin to shift - it was that constant drizzle and no breaks......bit annoyed but still had a few good laughs with our friends and the kids got to do a few things like ride their bikes in the rain, marshmellows in the fire and swim in the bloody cold dam !! ...mmm....can't say I'd the the same even with my full racing triathlon wettie on !! Shame to leave as I really like this place and would recommend it to anyone - we may just go back in summer next time.
Home for 4pm and ready for next week - time to focus on getting racing weight dialled in and some good sessions for the week I have off work, with some really hard work planned in the next few weeks...focus focus focus
Til next week
Cheers
Paul
