Fun (ish) when I wasn't shit :/ but actually really hot and more of a workout than I expected :)

Swimming 15:00 [3] 0.5 km (30:00 / km)
Despite Mr Reeve cancelling swimming, I decided to go anyway even though he specifically said I couldn't, but he got distracted by Spiderman incident :D
Arm was feeling a bit weird... only 20 lengths to remind my body what to do on Sunday

New gloves are pretty cool :D
Transition was really good. Only 30secs :)

Running 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Adidas Supernova Sequence
With running club. Legs were stiff from weights session yesterday! Fast 200m ish on track. Was a good workout, but forgot GPS watch which is a pain.
5 PM
Swimming 8:00 [3] 0.4 km (20:00 / km)
Race prep. Practice with 2XU top and bottom on.
Swimming warm up/down 20:00 [3] 0.6 km (33:20 / km)
Was trying out all kit today. Goggles that are dead clean and look brill let water in however I adjust them which sooo annoying!!! Hate the swim cap, but on the plus side, I think I managed to reduce the drag of my 2XU top. Wore it for my practice swim and it was fine.
A lifeguard stopped me on way out and asked me if I did triathlons. She said I should go down to a swim session at Moss Farm cos it should help me improve my technique. Good idea tbh. Just need to find time to fit it in.

Cycling 47:00 [3] 23.74 km (30.3 kph) +100m
slept:9.0
Drove to Wilmslow and checked out where triathlon is next Sunday, and then tried out the bike course. Wind was all wrong. Tail wind on first 6km side wind on next section that nearly blew me off, and then head wind almost stopped me dead on way back. Plus I didn't really know where I was going, so overall really glad I did it and hopefully it won't be as windy next weekend.
3 PM
Cycling (Triathlon Training (T2)) 10:56 [4] 5.73 km (31.4 kph) +20m
Short fast cycle along Middlewich Rd to pub, left down to A50 and then back up wash lane (old run route just not through shakerley mere). Wind down to A50 was brutal. Not as fast as I would've liked but I'm blaming that on the cycle this morning and the wind.
Running (Triathlon Training (T2)) 23:52 [4] 5.7 km (4:11 / km) +20m 4:07 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Sequence
Same route as cycle just cut through shakerley mere.
Fastest I've ever run this!!! Which is probably because I haven't run it in ages, but dead chuffed after having done cycling already!
Last 200m down lane was torture as I saw clock coming closer to 24:00 and trying my hardest to break that barrier as wind pushes me back with a stupid amount of force... Did it though :D
