Off Road Triathlon

I have signed up for an off-road triathlon in Surrey in the UK. The race is on the 27th of September, which doesn't give me too long to get myself back up to snuff. The main area in need of attention is of course the swimming, which was never really the best to start with. The training will therefore focus on getting some quality pool time in.

I will be posting a training plan shortly.

This week, while on holiday in Ireland I did a little bit of prep work as follows;
Sunday; Sea swim with wet suit. Just 10 min to get me back in the drink.
Monday; 10 min open water swimming
Tuesday; Bike ride, semi off-road on the cross bike 1hr 30min, HILLY!
Thursday; Short open water swim plus a 40 min hill running set later.
Friday; Quick brick. 20min bike ride and 13 min run, at pace over a hilly course. Just to get the feel of the transition again.

The only real worry I have is making it round 1500m swim! So its the early swim session for me.

I love the smell of the pool in the morning, that chlorine smell. Smells like...Victory.
