Today's Journal
The AM run didn't happen...a bit dissappointed I didn't get out but we move on.
Off to swimming squad in the evening, felt a little tired in the legs intitially but they seem to come good after a few hundred metres.
I am currently focussing on a couple of things with my swimming:
  1. Moving to bilateral breathing...each session I am slowly introducing a bit more...
  2. During this session was concerned with the lack of kick happening with my legs...this is to become a focus as well.

Met with RA before the session to disscus the direction of my training for the next 12months, the following points came out of our discussions:

  1. Looking to have a bit of 'time off' at the end of this season (2weeks off run and bike, then 2 weeks of maintenance) do other stuff other than tri training etc. Can continue to swim during this time.
  2. This will happen for the month of April.
  3. Peak training time will be June through to November
  4. Key qualifying races will be GC Half Ironman (30-9) and Port Maquarie Half Ironman (4-11 tbc)
  5. Yeppon a possibility as a training race.
  6. Canberra is to used as a 'fall back' in case of injury or sickness
  7. Other key races - QLD Half Marathon and GC Half Marathon
  8. Pre Christmas 2007 - Bribie Races
  9. Post Christmas 2007 - Goodiwindi and Bribie
  10. Think about some strength training during the time off
