I got ill, I got a bit better, I did a 1.5 hr bike ride on Friday to get rid of the germs, a turbo on Saturday and a fab 9 mile run on Sunday. Then I went swimming on Monday. Then I got sick again. I blame the swimming. Swimming is shit.
Agree but just inc ase bare in mind I'm being a hipercrite as I'm sh*te at FC as well and tend to breaststroke. Fellow cake you have month's over winter where you can't bike much with the weather. spend it wisely and keep hitting the pool. Work in tecnec and not just distance. It's what I'm going to do once the plague has left me.
Big training numbers going on here already i am going for a nice steady build up as we have 25 ish weeks to go plenty of time to totally overcook it and drive myself into an overtraining spiral
First "proper" pool session today since IM Wales and i have gone from a 1:12 IM sea swim fish to a breathless after 2 lengths crab
I've promised my old swim coach I will be back at swim club next week. I've had a decent break from swimming because it really isn't my favourite thing and there's only so much of making myself do something I don't want to do that I can do. If you know what I mean.
But the plan was to get back to it in January and that's what I will do. Next week. Cross my heart!
I found a real love for open water swimming last year though. I can't wait for the spring!!!!!
I enjoy OW more than the pool too....club swims are good but one lane with sometimes 10 of us is an issue. Swam tonight for the first time in weeks....not with the club and just me and my daughter in the lane. No pressure...much better. Although I am now full of cold as usual, another reason why I struggle to like that swim thing.
That is one of the joys of living in Dubai and one which I'm going to miss when I leave next year, there are loads of 25M pools and the one I use is crowdwd if there are 3 of us in it. Rarely sight any Leopard print thongs but is next to where the Emirates trolley dollies live so there are some pleasant sights to be seen
Three hours on the bike this morning, I'm still getting used to riding a TT bike again, my back neck and shoulders are all complaining.
anyone in south wales is welcome to join me this weekend for a river swim......but after all this rain I think it will be more like an endless pool swim...the current is going to be amazing .
I am a training goddess this week....it will probabaly only last a few more days

Back to the antibiotics and days on the sofa.
A slightly stuttery start but I will get there.
Hope your feeling better soon Cake.
Wow, you people are really clocking up those miles already.
Suppose I better get my shit together and get my game face on
I'm with Dubai Dave, KFC is far better than McD and they have gravy too mmmmmmm
Visions of queues of Los Piratos at the KFC drive in hatch donning aero trays on the tribars. I's sure there is a market here somewhere...
All the proper afferletes won't touch the stuff, but it seems we may have a weakness?
Hello chaps. Back into training, back into the forums.
Now. I'm sure I saw a 2012 sportives thread somewhere before Christmas. Anyone seen it?
... why only half FC ... stop swimming other strokes until you get FC sussed

Where do you intend doing your OW swimming ?
Hi all.
For me... running going well. Cycling not too bad. Swimming....erm... yeah. Better get started with that one
