Triathletes train hard all winter so they can be ready for the summer race season. My season is only going to involve two races; last week's 70.3 Swashbuckler Ironman and in 41 days time, my "A race", the Frankfurt Ironman. All my training is built around these dates and it gets adjusted as and when required depending on my physical condition or life / work commitments. This week has been an easier week as I recovered fully from my efforts last week. Best to let my body recover as last week I gave it everything to achieve my PB.
The focus then went on my club mates who were taking part in different events around Europe this weekend. It was exciting to be watching the updates on Facebook as they battled against the conditions and each other. Not everyone achieved their desired result but this will just make them all the more determined. Congratulations to those that did. This is the culmination of their winter training and in 41 days time it will be my turn. All I have got to do is double the distance and try and maintain the same pace! Between now and then my body will be put through hell! I'm approaching the final stretch of a 9 month programme and all sessions at this stage are crucial. Planning the diary, work, social life and training will take over so if you're wanting to catch up over a beer best leave it till after 3 July!
