This week was one of those weeks where life got in the way a little bit. Run down with a cold (again!) I was always going to have an easier week than last week. But, on top of all that I had a couple of important meetings this week, Uni work deadlines and also an all day trip to Cardiff to watch Wales do what they could against the impressive All Blacks. Still, not a bad week, 7 hours is a decent effort.
I've noticed I've been slipping too much on swim volume the last couple of weeks, only managing to get in the pool once this week. This week the plan will be to do 3 solid sessions and get back on top of things. I'm trying to get to a Swim Smooth workshop, most likely with Fiona Ford, to get my stroke analysed. I know there must be some flaws in my stroke and having them pointed out seems like quite an easy way to gain time.
The bike is still coming along nicely, with some time on the tri bike again this week. I think I'll do my normal winter training loop threshold ride this week, but will do it solo on my tri bike. I may meet the group and try to hunt them down/stay away. Obviously a tri bike is inappropriate in a group situation, especially a group of roadies but I like the motivation that comes with doing threshold rides as a group.
Run-wise I had a good week only missing out on my LSR, mostly due to the horrendous weather. Next week I've got 2 races lined up - one LCL XC race on Wednesday and the ParkRun at Kingston on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to them both, so should be a good week. I may only do those two races and a long run next week unless my legs feel particularly good during the week.
This week while training I've mostly been singing....
