Jezoble
Up early today to pick up the new bike. 5 hour round trip to Royal Tunbridge Wells via Maccy D's on the way back (I took Sawyer). Bless him he played on his DS the whole bloody way!
Picked up the bike, did the dirty with the cash and got Jezobel home. Massive spec on the bike and got it for a song. Really pleased as Im more into looks that performance tbh (Mr Vain haha). Here she is -
Rained when I got back so got a 7 mile trail run in. Nice and comfy at 145bpm and 7.21/mm pace. Still a little tired and hilly for me but getting slowly stronger week by week.
Went out between a break in thunderstorms for a quick 10 mile spin on Jezzy. Wow, the TT bikes are TWITCHY compared to road bikes. Nearly fell off 3 times doing stuid things like forgetting the breaks are on the wings and trying to stand up when in the aero bars. Also, you need really, REALLY subtle movements or you start swinging over the road.
Good ride though, on the flat pushing 21-22 mph was easy and felt GOOD!
Struggled on the hills, legs are tired and a bit warey as doing a group ride tomorrow of 40-50 ish.
Really good week being banked. 100 miles on the bike already (including a KOM), 21 miles run (including 5.40 pace tempo) and just over a mile swim. Going to be 11-12 hours in 6 days by end of tomorrow and that's a proper volume week for my Ironman at this stage.
Butlins for a week on Monday, will do plenty of swimming and running and generally have a pretty easy cut back week. Maybe aim at 40 miles running, 3k swimming something like that.
