Stop looking, I've found them...

You can all stop looking now, I've finally found my training legs (and arms for that matter).

A great week of training this week (first time over 10 hours since race day) and today I finally felt like I was making some headway again.  It began with an excellent swim session on Friday when I belted out a set of 13 100s 5-10 seconds faster than I had been managing for the previous 3 weeks and faster than I have ever done.

Yesterday wasn't so flash as my right hip was so sore that I ended up spending the end of the day laying on the sofa, but today I went a little off-piste (away from my training schedule) and did a reasonably long and hard brick session (1:45 bike and 30 minute run).

It felt great just going for it as I felt. I was training with Chris and James and at various points along the way, I decided to put the foot down to try and see how much of a jump I could get on them. I felt extra strong and confident and free. It was awesome.

I'm not planning to be so reckless all the time, but it was good to blow the cobwebs out just this once.

The next race is coming up in under 3 weeks so I'll be keen to see how well I can progress over that time, as even though last weekend went well, I actually didn't feel that it was up to the potential that I have built up through last year's training. Bring on the Lake Hayes Tri on Good Friday!
