Thursday – Turbo, 25,5km in 01:00:00 – Horrid again, man I hate the Turbo…but gotta do it for mental toughness etc etc. There was track cycling on the telly, so this was a bit of motivation.
Saturday – Bike, 76,5km in 2hr 55 min. I did this ride on my own, for mental toughness etc etc (talk about a recurring theme)!!! I headed to Windsor, via a few small hills, then through The Great Park before getting into Windsor proper. The back the flat fast route via Runnymede. It was an ok ride really, bit all over the place in the beginning, I couldn’t get into a comfortable pace, my heart rate was all over the show so had to keep slowing down and speeding up and changing gear till I found some sort of a rhythm. Then things went much better. Coming back, I was going great guns till I hit a headwind about 15km from home, the last bit was tough, but I managed. I need to have my bike setup checked as my right knee hurt a little, must be my cleat or shoe or something!!!
Sunday – Run, 13,2km in 01:21:05, with a 15 minute warm-up run. Race went great, decided to race at what I thought will be my half marathon pace, i.e. at a heart rate of 145-147 bpm. Decided to go till 7 miles at this rate, then speed up for the last mile and a bit to the finish. All went well, at 7 miles I felt like I could go another 6 miles if I had to. My time was way off my PB, but hey ho…might not see any of my PB’s for a while!!!
