Training Log Archive: fletch

Took Dad out for a run so I had an excuse to keep it short and easy. Pace was real cruisy, but timewise a lot longer than I had planned. Foot the best it has been for ages.

Back into the pool to continue my metamorphosis into a (poor imitation of a) triathlete.

4 x 500m (all 10 - 10:15) with about 2 min break between then 200m cruisy cooldown.

Felt pretty easy for most of it, but any time I put more effort in my stroke gets even worse than normal and I don't really speed up. Significantly I feel like rubbish for about the first 300m (about how long I used to swim for before I gave up) before warming up and feeling better.

The kids camp finished in Walkaway and I was frustrated by the time we dribbled in there and rode back to school instead of getting on the bus. Great to belt along with a healthy tailwind, even if it was on the MTB on bitumen.

All on sealed roads. More hills than yesterda, hence even slower. Rode a few of them multiple times so I didn't have to sit around and wait quite as much

Year 10 Outdoor Ed camp. Painfully slow and lots of stopping, kids walking up 'hills' etc All on boring wide gravel roads.

Took a few of the kiddies for a night ride. Marginally less boring than day's effort.
