Lincoln 10k & Centuary rides

Really putting the training in now, especially on the bike, absolutely loving.

Euro Champs is only 3 weeks away and I'm getting real excited about this now.

I'm running faster than ever, clocked a 39 minute 10k at Lincoln, for once I kept to my plan instead of racing off far too fast and fading. I didnt care who came past me, just stick to sub 4 minute 1 km's. The plan worked well and I finished strong maintaining a constant pace all the way through the race, I knew at the 5km mark what time I was going to do, I was so full of confidence, hope I can get this feeling again ...... love it.

Back to cycling, Iv'e just done my second 100 mile ride of the year, thought I'd best as I'd got into the habit of 70 - 80 milers, I didn't do many centuary rides last year but this year is different this year is Double Enduroman and I've got to get the centuary rides in. Going to do another tomorrow, never done back to back centuary rides before, love it !

February training

I've took it steady in training over these last few weeks.

I'm not allowed to swim or kayak, I've done some track running and my shoulder feels a little sore the next day so I'm concentrating more on cycling for now, trying to rebuild my confidence.

Started off just doing a few hours every week and I'm now up to 10 hours training per week and not much discomfort or soreness afterwards.

The European Sprint Triathlon Championships are only 7 weeks away, I'm not going to be at the top of my game, but its going to be a great experience pulling on that GBR trisuit and giving it hell for an hour.

Really looking forward to training camp in Mallorca in a week's time, so plenty of hills and long bikes should help me prepare.
