Right straight to the point.....today's sessions brought me back to earth with a thump! In fact not just a surface thump...it buried me, 4 feet under!!!
Ok..............it goes like this........
Maybe I need to be a bit more realistic, it has been a while since IM and not been training
AM session - 3km TT (Run)
This was going to be a good opportunity to establish a benchmark at the beginning of the season and to determine how much 'fitness' has been lost over the past 8 weeks. It is also a good time to see how the 'mental' aspect has fared.
Before I even arrived I was struggling mentally. As I driving there it was drizzling, doesn't help the whole mental think.
Went through the warm up. There were definitely a few niggles there, and very stiff. It will make an interesting TT.
The strategy was to go around the 1st lap relatively easy and bring it home. The first lap completed in 5m46sec and the second was 6m08sec
Presenting me a total time of 11m54sec.
Not the best time around personally but something to start off the season with.
PM session - 800m TT (Swim)
The session started off before it even started with 500m, then into the session.
500m Swim
500m Pull
16 x 50m of something
then...SHOCK...HORROR a 800m TT
By this stage the arms were dead...not much power and the endurance strength just wasn't happening.
Anyway it got done, 1st 400m @ 7m19s and 2nd 400m @ 7m31s.
Giving a total of 14m50s.....not happy at all....have to start the season somewhere I suppose.
