Nothing like a deadline to help get that training bug!
Posted by admin
On Friday I returned to the Gold Coast after supporting a client who rode across Australia. It was a great trip that enabled me to spend plenty of time on the bike and I am not worried about the bike leg at Port Mac half on Nov 9.
I am however extremely concerned about the swim leg…mainly due to my lack of training. I thought while I was away that I may have been able to fit a few sessions in at some local pools along the way but in reality this never happened.
It’s 3.30pm on Monday 13th of October and I have just completed my first swim session in almost 2 months. Considering how bad I am at this sport I really should have done more training. 1km took me far longer than it should have (28 minutes) and it filled me with no confidence whatsoever.
One thing that can be taken from the session….this next 4 weeks is going to be some of the most intense swimming training that I have ever done.
Nov 9 here I come!
