wild wally x 6

for the first time ever i had 6 wild wallys on my program. wild wally is a 700m (well 683 really...) hill circuit with up and down hill and a nasty flat bit. to mix it up a bit today we started about 20m from the top of the hill meaning that we had a long hill to finish...

total of 9.5k for the morning and my 6 splits were 3.43, 3.45, 3.42, 3.43, 3.47, 3.52. I did them continuosly as I figured that i was staying reasonably consistent. The last one proved taht I was really just about done!!

i felt very slow today. maybe cause i hadn't done a good hills session in ages. i am sure it was good for me - but i did have the moments going 'why do i think that i can run? what makes me think that i would ever be able to finish a triathlon?'. food for thought.

speaking of which i met a coach last night to discuss getting a program for some triathlon training (and to try and fit around my running training). a couple of interesting things came up:
- first he reckons that if i haven't got my bike yet i should try and swap it for a road bike.......
- secondly he wants me to aim for an olympic distance tri that is on in April which would give me 6 months. i had been thinking more, this time next year - but he seems pretty confident. nothing like a challenge hey??
