A bit disappointed. Test week and a little bit of an improvement in everything but not enough for the pain induced.
Trg today:
Swim - 400m TT in 5.54.
Bike - 60min FTP effort saw an 11W improvement.
Feel absolutely knackered tonight.

Aha, we can agree on a bike - ugly just doesn't cover it!
ReplyDeleteI know you won't listen but I'll say it anyway. You are not some special case or superhuman. I'm afraid the rules do apply to you!
In the last six weeks you have moved house, your son has arrived and you have continued to train almost without reference to these enormous life changes and I assume you've been at work too for some of this period.
To show any improvement is surprising. If you don't listen to your body soon you will break.
Take a week out and spend time with your wife and Jensen, you'll be a better athlete for it.
Nice 400 TT dude! I did 6 x 200 on 4 mins the other day and started with 2:52. Dropped a bit as the session progressed but held it to 2:55. If I don't swim better this season in races I will eat your old cut off wetsuit!!

ReplyDelete"You one ugly m*********er!"
Not surprised you're tired, but good swimming. And 11w on the bike is not to be sniffed at.
Yeah I will rein it back a bit until he's sleeping through the night Kelda.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sags. I was v dissappointed with the swim and the bike. I feel so far away from the bike stats from a year ago it's not funny but I was riding 12hrs a week then. The ego is deflated.
Turbo, I will do my best to find another horrible bike for you soon. There was a £5k kids carbon TT bike I saw recently. I must find it. Imagine everyone with mtbs lined up for a try-a-tri and there's little 8yr old 'Hugo' with his dream machine and aero helmet!
