Well, a few days away (in the rain, naturally) to get a few miles in before the stresses of ForestMan week so now it’s time for a sore throat and “general malaise”.
A couple of long rides from Woolacombe to Minehead along the coast and then a “few hills” on Exmoor on the return journey…….lovely!! Running (very slowly) over the cliff tops must be good for you, mustn’t it??
So the biking and running legs are slowly improving but still no swimming! I managed to stumble whilst out running about 5 weeks ago now and cracked my hand against a rock. Painful at the time and still not much better so swimming still “on hold”. Must be getting old if things are taking so long to heal. Anyway, Joanne reckons that if I’m swimming on seven consecutive days in August I’ll be able to manage three laps of the lake by the final day!!
With ForestMan only a week away I won’t get much (if any) training over the next 10 days or so but then, hopefully, five weeks clear run at some consistency including a week in The Alps for the Tour so a bit of hill work no doubt..
Funnily enough I’m enjoying the challenges brought by the lack of routine in my exercise/training but now recognise that there is absolutely no way I could train consistently enough over the summer months to consider competing seriously again.
Huge thanks for everyone’s support and for the donations!!
