Reluctant Run 12ks & Swim

Had planned to stay off my feet today and take the day swimming but a client i have been training is in his final week before his New York Marathon and i had to do a 12ks tempo run with him at 4.45 pace that i promised him but was reluctant to do.
Did that feeling already tired after a busy weeks training before heading down for my 3rd swim of the week as well, Nothing fast today and was just happy to get through 2ks, it was pretty boring actually with no one else in my lane i seemed to be there forever. Still more ks done and that is 6.5 for the week with another one to come at Sundays race.
Was supposed to swim with Enda and Pete Walker at lunch but run out of time as i had to pick my serviced bike up and is now ready to race once i slap on the disk wheels.
Been bombarded again all afternoon from good guy Richie High trying to suss out how i am going and if it will be a wetsuit swim or not.
Gave both him and Pete Walker a sneak preview of my selected times on how the Big 3 HuRTS Triathletes will go on Sunday.( me included)

  1. Peter Walker 1.40:18  swim 15.21, bike 48.30, run 36.26
  2. Richie High    1.41:51 swim 16.42, bike 48.38 run 36.30.
  3.  Lindop          1.44:56  swim 18.45, bike 49.17, run 36.53
So it looks like the 3 minutes will NOT be enough that Richie has kindly given me :) - All i can do is try my best though.
All set then, swimming is done, bike is ready to go, running is slowly coming back, a Rats tail is growing, the Winnie Blues are up the shirt sleeve, and the Woodstock Bourbon is in the esky for the day trip to our affluent suburb that is Penriffff :)

Have a good weekend all
Train well and stay safe
Cheers
