Fink for outlaw 2013

oh right BBT....i read that session wrong....don't see the point in doing a shorter bike before the long run unless you put them together really............will reread what he says........

yes BBt Bike science.must get up early........he only did the basic fit on my old bike and that was a really good job so was not willing to get on my new bike until he has fiddled with it

Just realised that its a cutback week next week............

i don't look at how long finks long bike ride is.......I make up my own....

I'm finding it difficult to get all teh sessions in. The next two weeks will be really hard as I'm travelling around between hotels and working in teh day and at night. I've been looking for local tri / swim / run clubs but they only have sessions in evenings - which is when I'm working.

Kendal, Liverpool, Sheffield, Stoke this week

I know one hotel at least has a pool, but its 12m long I'm just going to have to try and focus on the run sessions, get a good long bike on Thursday (hopefully the 63 nile Cheshire Cat route) and then make up swim sessions on Friday / Sat / Sun.

Roll on 2 weeks when I get back to bristol and access to sensible swim sessions

failed long bike ride

was thrilled to be able to get outside so layered up but still froze too much

lungs hurting from cold air, eyes sore from wind tears and even my drink made with hot water thinks it's got ice cubes in.

sulking big time now how crap am i

You got out, EP, and that's the main thing, and that's not a failure

thanks Matt

Looking back I don't think it helped doing my speedwork friday and long run yesterday either!

but yep chilly ... 0 + wind chill making it below zero I believe

Just checked the pool timetable

Monday 9-12 public swim - yippee

lunchtime lanes 12 - 1:15 double yippe

but the rest of the week is only lunchtime lanes and swimming lessons. booo hiss

I has wanted to get a couple of long slow swims in doing race distance in the afternoons when hubby was at work

back to the drawing board and planning again

afternoon.long bike done with club.thats the 3rd in the row.......will be strange to go out wednesday and do one on my own again

How far to another pool ... is it worth a longer drive for a longer swim?

10.5 miles at pretty much 10m/m pace. I'm happy with that, especially as its blooming cold out there, I've got a bit of a cold coming, and I think I was suffering slight after effects from last nights party

Nasty headwind for a lot of the run, and seemed surprisngly uphill for a towpth. Not to mention the wet foot from losing a shoe in the mud

thanks for reminding me Britrisky - the sister pool has a more sensible time table

how was the print du Ali.......i bet you din't stick to HR zones

well done slokey Joe...
