Not currently signed up for anything.

Was going to do a OLY mid September but need to get my bike frame fixed. Found out the frame was broken where the front Derailleur mounts. Threaded bosses unbounded from the carbon.
This happened 4 days before Swansea 70.3 so I did that event stuck in the small ring.

5-6 weeks lead time to fix, not booked it in yet.

Maybe an Autumn half marathon.

90kms this morning. Not doing enough regularly to maintain or improve my fitness. Need to get back to work and get my commuting kms in.

Well that’s my 70.3 training complete. After nothing for over a fortnight…

12km run on Thurs.
43km ride on Fri.
1.2km sea swim today.

I’m so far off where I would normally be going into a ā€˜race’ it’s going to be quite odd. But maybe refreshing just going by feel and enjoying the day with no pressure.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll still drill myself and be disappointed at the end! :joy: But that’s to be expected.

Sub 5:30 or death with your running ?!

Is it a sea swim?

No, it’s a lake. But lumpy bike and lumpy, mixed terrain run.

I’m in no great shape. 6 would be a great result for me.

6 hours??? Shape looks kind of bag-like to me, and as if it might be filled with a fine granular substance of some sort :grinning:

OK maybe closer to 530 than 6.

45 min swim
3.15-20 bike (similar profile to Wales and I’m much less fit, plus I think it’s a bit long)
1.30-40 run - lumpy and some crappy off road trails through the forest.

Plus transition takes me to 5.40 - 5.55 or so.

So not that sandy you buggerzzz

Impromptu evening hilly session. Didn’t fancy just plodding so destroyed myself around the west end doing loops and laps :man_running: :hot_face:
