Completed my first gym based triathlon

So the last few months have gone by so quickly I  have putting in as much training as poss whilst juggling family and work it's been fun, well most if the time not including the many injuries sustained whilst falling from my bike !!! 

Today I decided with only a month to go to see what I could so it began with 400m swim in the pool in 8 mins quickly changed into gym kit and hop on the bike 16.1 km in 32.33 ok so the bike in the gym is no way near as hard as the road but it gave me the general idea and finally into the dreaded running machine 4.6km in 34 mins if I am honest the running was by far the hardest and at times it was stop and start but finally I did it my next challenge is to do the same on the road wish me luck will keep you posted . 

Ps we are sorting out out just giving page thus week which we will post of Facebook we would really appreciate your sponsorship "for Luca "

Thanks

Race Day - 5 weeks Sunday!!!

Ok, let's blow the dust of this blog and get going!!

Doesn't seem long ago since we first talked about doing this... it was almost 5 months ago!! Now we have just over 5 weeks left till the big day!!!

I've done nowhere near the amount of training I wanted to do. But I doubt anyone has; what an awful winter we've had, and it still isn't pleasant out there - it started snowing on me earlier!

Today I did my first swim (before work), bike and run (after work) in one day. Not very fast, but wanted to know what it feels like to run off the bike. It's added 4mins to my run but really pleased to just be able to do a 5k after riding, albeit a short ride. Running immediately off the bike was tough, so I recommend everyone does it at least once before D-day....

The swim is still my weakest event, so I'll be putting in the hours down at Eastern Leisure Centre over the next few weeks. I'm starting to get to know the lunchtime regulars there, most of whom are pensioners. I might organise a coach trip for them to come down and support me on 5th May!! :-)

Hopefully registration will open soon for the event - not sure what's delaying them. We need a few weeks to get a good amount of sponsorship!! In the meantime, happy training folks and let's keep our fingers crossed for some warmer weather!!!
