I will only complicate you, trust in me and fall as well
well that sounds like a depressing heading but actually it was just what I was listening to on the bus and is stuck in my head :)
Last night I planned out my training until the 18th of the March. There are a couple of points where I will do a Go/No Go analysis along the way :) One of those will be this Sunday where I have decided to do all the distances in the one day to mainly give myself some much needed confidence that I can do it. I don't intend to do any of it hard or fast or even right after each other. But I will swim 1.5k, cycle 40k and run 10k. And then I will see how I feel :)
I had a good session this morning. Up bright and early for 1hr on the trainer followed by 30 min run from home, around the park and back. One other thing that I did on the weekend just past was buy a bike computer and my friend at the bike shop kindly installed it for me (who knew it had to be installed?!). Talk about keeping me honest. I realised that on the trainer I have been B-L-U-D-G-I-N-G in a serious way!!! Now I aim for a cadence of 80-90 and will just sit on what ever gear I can do that comfortably in for now. Not that it was particularly comfortable - I was in struggle town. But that could have also been because my stomach wasn't that keen on the endura Opti that I tried a bit of. But I am going to persevere for a bit because it is dairy free which I like.
Oh - and I also bought one of the bottles that sits between your tri bars on your bike. So it should be good for drinking. Not so good for my street cred :) but who cares!

Better for your street cred than the spokey dokes ;)
The computer will keep you honest Ellie. Miners will be right onto all your bike stats now.
An Olympic tri with very long transitions - I like it.
Sounds like a good plan! See you sometime at the weekend.
Look at you with all your gadgets and add ons! Hope you're back on top of it all soon :)
Loving all your gadgets Ellie.
Keep chipping away at it, you'll come out on top 4 sure.
Good idea doing all the distances this weekend Ellie, that'll give you so much confidence for the day.
NIN?
close gnscon... but no cigar...
so you DID get the jetstream thingy?! Good on you - now you look like an IM. Just make sure you say you're a multi-finisher in case anyone ever asks you ;)
Sounds like the training is back on track. Sounds like a good idea to tri the distances this weekend - hope it goes well.
Ewen's got it all wrong - only the cool kids have spokey dokes :-)
It's *really* easy to slack off on the trainer - that's why I always wear my heartrate monitor (actually, it's the only time I wear it).
Have fun this weekend. YOU CAN - AND WILL - DO IT !!!!
Ok missE, I want a txt msg saying you have completed all ok?
Can we have a pic of your bottle thing pls?
Yeah, I rembered straight after posting that it was Sober by Tool.
I think the jetstream thingy's look way cool...though it'll prolong your evolution into an ambi turner!
