Mini triathlon in the gym

1km swim in 19'43" - which i think is a PB

Then 5km on the bike at level 13 to 15, but probably levels were too easy

Then 3km on the treadmill, at pace better than 12km/hr

Transitions not really important, as not trying to do these too fast

Race Day!

Well, today was the day for the Knockburn standard tri.

Lovely sunshine, no wind to start. Perfect.

Swim was 30'57", bike 1 hour 30'57" and run 54'40". Transitions added 2'57" and 1'00", to make a total time 3 hours and 34 seconds. Distance not recorded on nike+ (no headphones - race day)

T1 was clearly not a success.

Obvious target for next year then.

Bike/run brick

20 km on the bike, at a speed of just under 28km/hr (which is good), and then a 2.01km run in 11 minutes, just to shake out the legs.

Happy Birthday

As a birthday gift to myself, I went to the gym to do a mini-triathlon (600m swim, 22km bike in 40 minutes, 5km run in 26'35"). The transition from swim to bike took about 3 minutes (drying, heartrate monitor on, top on, socks on, shoes on, ipod on, onto the bike and go).

The transition off the bike is quick (at least in a gym), but the first km or two are difficult (wobbly heavy legs). I think the trick is not to go off too fast on the run - which fortunately isn't a big problem!
