Training Review - Week 28 - July 10 to 16

Monday I rode to work and back before going to swimming. I had to do a bit of coaching again so I only got half a swim session but the bits I did get were useful. I had to guess at what I swam as my garmin is away to get repaired or replaced.

Tuesday I took a run to work but was pretty empty again. 

Wednesday I decided on Westhill Aquathon. That meant riding to work, then riding out to Westhill, racing, and then riding home. Not exactly the best plan for a fast race. I actually had a great race though. I swam really well, but not having my garmin meant I have no idea what my swim time was. 

Going through transition I grabbed my phone and I had left my Strava app running so I was able to use that to measure my run. I was still in sight of the 3 swimmers who had beaten me out of the water. By the end of the first small lap I had caught one of them and I was reeling in second place. By the end of the first large lap and half way round the run I was up to second place, but the leader is a current GB age-group triathlete and an ex-GB cross-country runner so it was all I could do to minimise my losses and try to keep him in sight. I am pretty pleased with my race, and it was good aquathon practice before loch lomond in two weeks. 

Thursday and Friday were simple commuting days as I tried to recover from emptying myself into Wednesday's race. 

Saturday I went to bucksburn for a steady swim in the morning before spending a big chunk of the day asleep. The ear infection that has been bugging me just will not go away and a couple of days of antibiotics didn't do much other than tire me out.

Sunday I took a ride to bucksburn, did another easy swim, and then rode home. In the evening I did a yoga session to try and ease off some of the tightness in my back and hips.

That finished off a fairly solid week. A good race on Wednesday and some decent numbers for the rest of the week.
