I am one of the lucky ones as far as weight is concerned although some better floatation aids would help my buoyancy in the pool! So tonight after a fast 10 k run and then off to watch the end of my son's first training session after his injury, I went to the CHIP SHOP. A fish supper followed by Equi's ice cream and a couple of Becks. The great thing about triathlon training is that you can eat what you want, to an extent.
The majority of my time I eat healthily but today I needed some rubbish and I had a feast. If you like eating but are worried about your weight, pull on your running shoes, get on your bike or get in the pool.

Bike focus
As promised the focus is on the bike until 4 Sept but I'll still be having the odd swim and a few more runs. Yesterday the physio pointed out that my swimming had resulted in being stronger on the front of my body than the back and therefore my shoulders were being pulled forward causing discomfort. So now I have a serious of exercises to sort it out and I will be back swimming next week. It just shows how you need to balance the training to avoid injury and if you have a niggle, get it sorted by a pro immediately.
Last night I went out for a fast 23 miles on the bike with hill climbing. Speed was good and after 10 miles my legs felt fantastic. It was such a lovely night, 20 degrees and sunny so I could also enjoy the scenery when the sweat wasn't dripping in my eyes. On Saturday I will go out for at least a 50 mile cycle as the following weekend I am going out with a new bunch of cyclists who are taking part in the Bealach Mor and I don't want to be left behind on the hills!
Tonight will be my first "group" run with the ATHelite Tri Club since February when I pulled a hamstring muscle. Looking forward to it following my running in Portugal. With my 16 mile run around 6 parks on the south side of Glasgow at the end of October I need to keep my running up and this event will keep me motivated to run - I find it essential to have a goal to keep me focused on my training.
