Getting Wet
It's taken a while, but I finally got back in the water on Tuesday afternoon. According to the pool attendant, it was 169 days since my last visit. Took things easy, starting with a 100m paddle. Then attempted a 500m swim, but had to settle for 300m. Did another 2 sets of 300 and a final 100m to finish. Then thought, stuff it. Came here to swim 500m, so headed out again and did the 500m. All of this was done at snail's pace, over 3 mins per 100m. Thursday fared better with a 1k swim after the 100m warm-up. Finished with the same 500m swim knocking 2mins 9sec off Tuesday's time.Looking at my training schedule to Cairns, there are 6 blocks of 4 weeks set out, with this week being the second week of the first block. I've decided to put all 3 disciplines together and do 1/3 of the ironman distance in the last weekend of the current block. That's Sat 15th or Sun 16th. Need to get my swim up to 1.3km in the next 2 weeks, ready to combine the three.
Jumped off the diet wagon new year's eve and weighed in at 83.8kg. Had been under 83kg for part of the week, so will get back where I'm supposed to be fairly quick.
Overall, the week wasn't bad, but could have been better.
Swim 1:40 - 2 sessions
Trainer 3:20 - 2 sessions
Run 2:07 - 2 sessions
