In the tri club we have members of all standards and some people are good at one discipline but struggles with another. So you could find yourself being passed easily in the pool yet you'll fly past the same person on the bike or the run. As a result everyone gives encouragement as nobody is perfect.
My coach is trying to get my heart rate up when in a turbo session as she is pushing me, raising the limits. It's tough at the time, physically and mentally as it gets very uncomfortable as your heart rate gets close to and above 75% of your maximum rate. But I know that each time I complete a session like this it takes me one stage closer to the fitness level I need to get to in order to complete Ironman Lanza. In the heat, the wind and the hills "normal limits don't apply" so I need to keep this level of effort up and then some more. Tomorrow is a day off so I am looking forward to a long lie and a relaxing evening - life's good!
