Kind of triple day!

PM - 2*20 @240W on Zwift
Eve - 1.2K swim, mostly 100 & 50’s with a bit more effort on tired arms

Arms are feeling it now though :joy:

Gym first thing… :flexed_biceps:

Also, @jeffb, swimming twice on the same day is wild.

I need your sand bags to stop a flash flood atm.

Maybe I can swim in it.

Glad I cleaned out the drains. Need to de-weed the drive after a week of rain.

Climbing again for me today :grin: wanted to go for a run and do strength yesterday, but got distracted watching utmb. Blandine had me in tears, so emotional and inspiring.

I was actually organised this morning and got to the pool with the intention of a 30 minute swim before heading for my run as it involved catching a bus! But then saw someone I knew and was talking to :roll_eyes: so had to cut the swim short! Had the best intention to complete it later but when I got there the pool was busy and I just CBA to swim round people, so had a sit in the hydro pool and sauna :grin:

I changed my mind about my original run as I didn’t want to be stuck in the middle of the moors in a thunder storm, as it turned out I dodged the rain and it started just after I finished and was tanking it down on the way home!

Anyway, managed a 26K run with 650m of vert in 2:33, at least 14K was on trail\mixed surface with a few sections on road. Was feeling it a bit at the end, but it might have included a 20 minute stop for tea and cake :thinking:

Took me to 13 hours for the week.

3:30 running
2:30 swimming
7:00 cycling

Didn’t manage a long bike ride but got a decent ride on Monday and harder session, and also got a long swim & run which was what I was aiming for. Hoping for a longer bike next week.

5 weeks today, hoping for 2 more decent bikes and another run of 2:30-3:00.

Nothing today

Quads feeling the effect of 2500m of descent the last 3 days - I have been neglecting the hills at home it has to be said - nowhere to hide out here
