Saturday. Both Adults and Kids run sessions were busy today, club sessions geared towards Hastings half marathon now as most will be doing a half around that time. Kids are coming on so much, each season the kids really grow up and their approach to training is maturing which is the most important thing.
SC and I decided to head over to the Sussex Marathon Route to get our long run in plus do some further recci on the course. We had planned a 90 mins section but due to a couple of wrong turns this ended up being 2hrs 35 mins and just over 18 miles, on a very hilly route!
Not ideal, but have taken lots from the run.
Reality check of what this IM event is about..Endurance, and also that my conditioning on the running is in a good place this far away from race day. SC super strong all weekend. Good to run on the marathon course to get a feel of what the event will feel like for the competitors.
Rest and icing of the knees as precaution sat evening, seemed to do the trick.
Sever chafing on my back from a certain top I wore, vital lesson!
Today early morning swim, did 5 x 200m as main set with the other SC! swim / pull / medley / swim / pull. better than last two swims this week.
Then out on bike at 9:30am. Bit icy in the lanes so we kept to main roads. Came across a car accident that had just happened, luckily everyone OK but could have been a lot worse.
Great group today, 5 of us, all doing IM Wales. Ended up doing 85km including some climbing up over beachy head. Clear blue skies, crisp day and good athletes! We all appreciated being out training on the bike again.
Plan to have a recovery day tomorrow, lots to do before heading to Becci parents tomorrow evening as we fly very early tues. Hopefully sneak in an easy run/ turbo and stretch but no biggy if I do nothing, got 10 days of training time in La Santa.
All super excited about Tues. JH super excited that he has his own seat on the plane for the first time!
Dad back yesterday for a few days then they fly back out to join us at La Santa.
Watching Robin Hood now, then off to bed. Pretty tired now.
