Into Taper

Bulk of training now done. 4 week taper to the event. Then 5 days of a lot of swimming, cycling and running!

Last Big Training Day 4 of 4 done

That’s it. The last big training day is out of the way, and so now I’ll be tapering down towards the event itself.

Last Big Training Day 3 of 4 done

Day three done! In the pool at 07:00 and finished running at 16:10. Eight hours of exercise plus transitions and food stops. 24 hours over three days, a far cry form the event but the training seems to be going OK (ish). Did 2.5 hours of the bike on the road and then took to the turbo as the rain started. Now to shower and relax, until tomorrow.

Last Big Training Day 2 of 4 done

Day two done. Same as yesterday, and in the dry again. Let’s wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Last Big Training Day 1 of 4 done

‎1st one of this block done. 2 mile swim, 75 plus mile bike ride and a 15 mile run. 8 hours exercise and a 10 hour day with feed stops and kit changes. and it was dry, yippeeee! Just gotta do it daily for the rest of the weekend.

Another Training Day Completed

Job done, another training day completed 9 hours of swim,bike, run. All in the dry too (except the swim), a great result, as the forecast predicted rain.

A Good Few Hours Training…

On the bike at 07:45 and finished the ride at 13:45. Then started a run at 14:20 and finished at 17:00. Finally, in the pool at 17:15 and finished at 18:00. A good few hours training and a fair few miles covered. All I’ve got to do now is get ready to do it all again tomorrow!
