Twelve weeks in and ‘Base’ parts 2 and 3 are completed and its been fairly uneventful. My finger has recovered nicely from being stuck in a spinning disk brake (don’t ask why, I don’t know) I raced and marshalled at Chirk Sprint Triathlon which I really enjoyed and helped liven up the boredom of training. So much so I raced in the Chester Half Marathon the week after and also Ruthin Sprint Triathlon just last weekend. The Saturday bike rides have gotten a bit longer and the cafe stops have had to be kicked into touch but I’ve got a good crew of partners to ride with which has made them the social highlight of my week. So onward and upward to 4 week of Build 1 which sees the training load up’d from 10 to 13 hours and finishes with a Race at Chester over the Olympic Distance, which includes a river swim so the wet-suit will be coming out to play soon enough.
