Good luck, Pix. 🍀

Hopefully now I'm sorted with new running shoes, I will be ok to build up the training for Leamington Half on June 26th. Seven weeks to go. 🤞

Hello May!

Yes, exicting times. Super sprint tri this w/e just to blow the cobwebs away then Outlaw Half next w/e.

Feeling decent, weight in a good place, fitness solid although a bit compromised by the Covid weeks. I've swum consistently well in the pool, run the best I have for 3/4 years and after a slow start finally nailed a decent bike last Monday.

Time for a peep under the bonnet to see what we have....

:-)

Good luck Pix, I am also swimathoning tomorrow. The pool have asked if I can swim quickly as they forgot there were kids swimming lessons booked in - no pressure then! :-O

Good for you TRO!
I've been roped in to swimathon relay with some of the small triathletes - no idea how much I'll do as it'll be 5k - their input. 1 could probably manage the whole thing, 2 might do one length and give up! I hope not too much as have a runny race later that evening. I say race, it'll be a scenery enjoyment exercise BUT I actually feel like I can do both these things without needing a 2 day nap, so things are improving.

excellent JC!

TRO I assume it will be raining the next 2 weekends then

If I was down for Outlaw half I would have had to have withdrawn so glad in hindsight that I opted for a different race this year as its given me a few weeks longer to re-awaken the err athlete in me
