Week 3 - mixed results again.

The club session went well, which gave me confidence for the Parkrun and I got a 20:01 - a minute and half faster than a fortnight ago, so all movement in the right direction. I felt like I was dying in the last kilometre but still mustered a sprint finish, so there must still be more there than I realise.

Got two of these in. Was aiming for three.

Got of these in. Was aiming for three. Glimpses of previous form appearing, but still a massive way to go. The relays will
not be quick...

Yeah. This didn't happen. After dutifully keeping Wednesday & Saturday evenings free as instructed, I was then too hungover on the subsequent days to do any training...

See above.
Soooo... on to Week 4.
I've decided that my swimming is rubbish and my bike is never that good, so I'm continuing to concentrate on getting my run speed back as that'll make the most difference in any of the races I've got coming up (counter-intuitive for tri I know, but I consulted some training diaries and did some maths).
So tomorrow night is the running club session, Thursday is the club 5k handicap, I can fit in two or three more swims and a couple of bike sessions before I head down to Nottingham for some fun!
