So there are 139 days to the event and I’ve now begun full time training starting last night with a 20k interval bike session and a fast 5k run to blow out the cobwebs from what was a very busy and generally unhealthy last couple of weeks. My aim is to have 9 days rest between now and the event which means I’ll be getting 130 days of solid training under my belt. Whether that’s possible or not is another story but that’s the goal so we shall see how we get on!

Tri Yas this weekend should be interesting having not raced for 10 months. Last minute decision to opt for the sprint distance rather that an olympic race which I think is the right one at this stage. Plenty more races in the coming weeks available but I think its really about getting solid training sessions in rather than competing too much in short distance racing.
