The week that was (Week 8)

This is a transition week so it really has 9 days in it. My return from Aussie and the new programs from Geoff starting on Mondays have necessitated a new start day for my recording of weekly totals (Monday now, Saturday before). So since my last weekly report there have effectively been 9 days.

Last weekend saw a rest day and a 75km (2 hours 50 minutes) ride and my new week calculations starting from Monday 10 May. In the 7 days since then I managed 2:54 of running including my first speedwork / interval training plus 21.4km on the road. I also notched up 167.7km on the bike including an 82.2km ride today. That meant a total of 6:38 in the saddle and I have the chaifing to prove it!. Included in my bike work this week was my first time trial which took 0:21:17 for 12.6km, averaging 35.5 km/hour. I also stepped the swimming up a bit this week (4.6km in 1:45, over four sessions) and concentrated on slowing my stroke and powering it up a bit. The kicking is still definitely a work in progress though. Thats a grand total of 12:17 and 198.7 km for the 7 days or 15:07 and 273.7 km for the 9 day period.

There are some milestones coming up next week when I will crack the 1,000 km mark on the bike, 250 km running and 15 hours in the pool since starting just on 9 weeks ago!
