7 AM
Cycling 8:00 [3] 1.4 km (5:43 / km)
shoes: Diadora
Home -> Pool.
Very cold (-5C at home, prob slightly colder up hill and at K2). Fog had been forecast, but none materialised.
Thick fleece top coat, balaclave, riding glasses etc., but still sticking with shorts - only a week and a half to go!

Swimming 39:40 [5] 2.0 km (19:50 / km)
Felt good at the start and went for it!
very pleased with the sub 1 min/length pace. Gains not all made at the strt either (though first couple of lengths were the usual effortless quick ones, followed by a settling in to a more moderate rate). -10s at 10 lengths, -15s at 30 lengths, and -20s at 40 lengths.
Pool quiet (often is when cold outside), but still a bit of congestion causing me to slow up at the end at one point. Caught ropes a couple of times (no major disruption), but also had an over the rope hand collision - quite a blow (felt like a head!).
Generally very pleased with the session - shows that I can still do it when conditions are right.

8 AM
Cycling 13:00 [3] 3.0 mi (4:20 / mi)
shoes: Diadora
Pool -> Work.
Not a bad journey - seemed quiet on the roads as if the cold weather was deterring people from going out - not sure why on a work day. Still no fog and still cold. Top half (with all the extra clothing) fine, but legs quite chilly by arrival. Gears not changing as well as they could - possibly a bit of water in the cables freezing and making movement less reliable. Bike shed getting much less busy now (got a space inside) - only the hardy braving the winter cold and dark!
