First (Wednesday) just a 0.5 km mini warm up before an arms and upper body session with Lyn.
Then (Thursday) a touch intervals session, with 3 x 1 km at 12.5km/hr, 13.5 km/hr and 14.5km/hr, with 2 minutes walking in between each km. Haven't seen my HR up at 178 for a while!
And swimming tonight.

Turriff aquathlon
The Turriff sprint triathlon was due to happen today, but the lashing rain meant that the bike leg was binned. So it was a 760m swim, and a 6km run (in cold, wet and windy conditions). My first aquathlon!
The swim time (including the transition to run) was 17'08" (of which at least 2 minutes were getting out of the pool, pulling on clammy running gear and getting to the official start of the run. So the swim looks to have been 15 minutes or better.
The run was timed at 29'11" and officially about 6 km from the timing mats (although the Nike+ thought around 5.34km and 31'. So the pace was somewhere around the 6 minute mark, probably. I'm taking the official race distance as gospel! A bit slow, although the last km was a ripper, as I suddenly felt strong and was breathing well.
HRM around 170 throughout the run.
