Valentines Run With The Lads... Whoops

-
I'm really into my Monday night training, I started running with these guys over 12 month ago and they used to leave me for dust and I would catch them on the turn on the way home. Not being big headed here but my running has come on lots since joining them. I extremely enjoy the session which makes me work harder so I'm only going to get better, I'm trying to get my wife to come down but she's having none of it :(

We decided to do a duration run tonight, after last weeks hard core track session it was a nice light session, only banging out under 7 min miles. One of the lads turned up with some great news that he is sponsored this triathlon sesean by team tri uk and they are giving him all the free kit he could ever want/need! So well done matey, Hope he can hand down some freebies :)

The Garmin had a little wobble so I called them this morning to get some advice, there support center is 2nd to none, a excellent service which will keep me with them for years to come!

The only bad thing of the night was I left my wife alone at home for the evening on Valentines night, I think she was a bit miffed by it so im sure I'll have to make it up to her some how, but we did exchange cards and she got my a lovely card from Moonpig!

Todays session

Duration 00 56 24
Distance 7.14 miles
Calories 824
Max HR 152

Ive lost the start of the run due to my crappy Garmin 305 failing on me (1.39 miles)

Day 31 - The End Of Janothon, The Start Of Something Else...

-

Well we have been all looking forward to this day, and here it is! Congrats to all people who have completed Janothon. Mondays are the elite group session, while I was driving down the car phone went off, the bloke that arranges the training cant make it plus another 2 of the group aren't attending tonight as they are stuck in work so the suggested session was 7 x 1km, I was not looking forward to that as the 2 young lads where probably going to be there and leave me behind. When I got there my assumption was correct it was just me and the 2 fastest lads of the group. When I suggested the 7 x 1km session they looked at me and said "I'm not doing that!" lets just go for a run. I was over the moon they said no to the speed work! Its been 30 days hard training and I didn't want that on my last day of Janothon. We did a run what is called around Europe, Its a route that takes us up hill to the top of the mumbles in Swansea when we get to the half way...

Lovely Lake Laps.. Hippo Like...

I missed out last week on the lake swim and I understand it was a good one to miss, it was cold, dark and the lake even had waves. Todays session couldn't be more different, the lake was really flat, mill pond like and idea swimming conditions. The set was kept simple, 2 laps of the lake and as the lake was nice and flat I was happy with that, I thought that this set was going to be easy. Well how wrong was I.. The first lap went fine, I went off with the faster group and kept on there feet all the way around, which I was really happy with. I'm getting better with my swimming and im already looking to up the distance in my events, and 1500 meters doesn't look that daunting any more. We swam a wider lap in the session, so the spotters could follow us if we came into trouble, but I kept seeing the bottom which gave me the spooks so I kept going into the deeper part of the lake so I wasn't too scared... I sound like a right softy... But I have visions of someone or ...

Day 23 - 1st Race Day

-
The morning came far to early this morning and before I knew it I was up, dressed and ready for my 1st race for my new triathlon club. It was the final meet of the cross country season, 5 mile track around the reservoir and back home. This is my first competitive event since I played rugby to a high standard about 10 years ago. I do have a competitive streak in me so I was going to give it my all. I had to register when I arrived at the event it felt funny, going to a table in the corner, saying my name and running for a club.. me... running for a club. It was only £4 (it could have been £2 if I was registered with Wales Athletics) but I didn't mind paying it for my first turn out for Celtic Tri. There was a good turn out from the club but I was the only one without a team vest :( 11am on the dot the starter got the race off and away I went. I went out pretty quick but I was coping with it, I knew I could go out quick as it was only 5 miles. I averaged a 7.11 minute mile and I fe...
