swimming (Open Water) 24:00 [3] 0.87 km (27:35 / km)
First proper open water swim!
Very nice being in a wetsuit, nice and warm!
But struggled quite a lot, just so bad at front crawl.. can't breath slow enough comfortably and get in to a rhythm. Ended up switching to breathing every 2nd stroke (so only on one side) and finally got in to a bit of a rhythm at the end. Not ideal to swim like that but it's a start at least!
Need to practise practise practise all week next week to try and at least have a strategy on Saturday.

Cycling 18:44 [3] 6.69 km (2:48 / km) +60m 2:41 / km
Quick cycle to get the 'cycling legs' going to have a quick practise of cycle-run changover. Just down Isel Road for a bit and back, was horrible and windy and I was tired so didn't want to do long. Also such a horrible road for cycling.
Running 3:06 [4] 0.7 km (4:26 / km)
Ran off the bike and across the field and back. Legs didn't feel to bad - not sure if it's because the cycle wasn't long enough or if the standing up cycling helped, but ah well - nice little taster!

Running warm up/down 6:41 [3] 1.05 km (6:22 / km) +6m 6:11 / km
Warm-up - not feeling good at all, stomach feels weird, and tired and lungs feel tight! But warm-up made me feel a bit better.
Running tempo (Parkrun!) 22:24 [4] 5.0 km (4:29 / km) +50m 4:16 / km
Bit of a shock to the system after not running, let alone doing hard running, for over 3 months!
Can't say I enjoyed it at the time but glad I did it, and foot felt absolutely fine despite the 3rd day of running in a row - so VERY VERY pleased. :) :)

Running warm up/down 17:01 [2] 1.92 km (8:52 / km) +7m 8:42 / km
Jogged back up the track to warm down then all over Keswick trying to find Mum and Dad!

Running 28:39 [3] 4.44 km (6:27 / km) +132m 5:37 / km
Didn't want to go for a swim or bike so went for a jog with Dad. Just up to the top of the hill, and walked some of the downhill as could feel my foot (no worse than yesterday though)

swimming (Open Water) 15:00 [3]
Quick swim in Bassenthwaite - chilly! But good wearing a swimming hat, able to actually try and swim properly (if I was actually ok at swimming that is). Fun.
Running 32:13 [3] 5.24 km (6:09 / km) +84m 5:42 / km
Got dropped off after the swim on the Setmurthy road so ran up through the forest, and then out at the stile at the top and down. Really really enjoyed it, really fun. Downhill is definitely the thing that aggrivates my foot though, not sure why... but completely fine overall, think it's a good distance to start with!

Walking 3:30:00 [2] 13.5 km (15:33 / km) +840m 11:52 / km
Up Hindsgarth and then round the Anniversary Waltz route, but missed out Catbells and back to the car at Little Town. Good walk.

Cycling 3:45:00 [3] 42.0 mi (5:21 / mi) +1124m 4:57 / mi
Bike ride with Jack - absolutely died, but really enjoyed it!
Over whinlatter, back over Newlands, cafe stop in Buttermere, then over Honister, back through Grange and Braithwaite and the normal route etc. Legs dead and knees niggling, but good.
