It’s been quite a hard week so far with more to come. On Monday I did 3 km at Parnell pools, then took a break, came back late in the afternoon for another kilometre and then ran for 45 minutes off the back of that.
On Tuesday it was an indoor cycling session at Les Mills because my bike is still at Mt Maunganui. The session was really boring, but I ground out an hour and a half and then did a fast 20 minutes on the treadmill straight off it. Inside on a humid day, I’ve never been so wet at the end of a training session.
Yesterday, Wednesday, it was 90 minute run with some up-tempo segments ( 3 x 8 minutes with a slow jog between) and then a 45 minute indoor ride to “flush out the legs” as Mark Watson so eloquently puts it. I was pretty stuffed at the end of the day.
But I figure this week and next are going to be the two hardest, so I just have to make sure I eat right and get plenty of sleep. That didn’t happen yesterday, so I’m battling today !
Keep it up Peter! Not long to go now
Hi Peter,
Just wanted to say you are an inspiration. I have been following your training and events a little on Breakfast and I think you are awesome! Sounds like the training is well planned and I’m sure no matter what happens, you’ll get through the Half and across the finish line on 8 Jan with a great feeling of accomplishment. You’ve even inspired me to get back into some short triathlons (after a very long break having babies) – maybe Tinman 2011.
GO FOR IT!
Sarah
