2nd in the Tri yesterday, against a strong field
First podium in that race series & beat my last 5k run split by over 1 minute (17:15 with a massive sprint finish on a pretty slow course with 21k's of hard riding in my legs!). Very happy with the result and is a great start to the Tri season.
On the down-side I lost at least 30 seconds on the bike compared to my last race here. This is not surprising given my focus on running... but emphasises that I need to work out a bike programme with a complementary rhythm to this run programe ASAP. Next big Tri race is 24th June so I have time, but need to act now (comments welcome!).
6x1k-R60's this morning were challenging with yesterday in my legs... but I struggled through it on the track:
3:17
3:12
3:18
3:18
3:18
3:13
Weight: 77.9
Onwards and forwards!
