Tuesday night I ran 5miles around Boxhill, Wednesday night I did the Masters Swim session and Friday I biked 18miles. Not a bad set for the week.
On Sunday I did the Elmbridge 10km. An great race on a flat course. I had previously done 46:30 here and I did have ambitions of setting a new personal best. But having not kept up my momentum after the London Marathon this was not going to happen. So on Sunday I managed a time of 47:12 I am dissappointed with this time, but 'if you don't put the training in, you don't get the performance'. Looking at my split times, I did the first 5km in 22:52, this was all road and I am happy about this time, don't think I could do 5km any quicker. The second 5km was on the Thames towpath and took 24:23. If I had kept up the training I believe I could have knocked 1 minute off that time.
Looking forwards, I now have 3 weeks until the Hayle Sprint Tri. This will be a new experience for me and I am still scared about the swim. The biking and running should be OK, I have easily done these before, just never swum 750m without stopping before, how long should it take? Time for some internet research.
