Blustery winds made yesterday's ride with VC Norwich a tough workout! Because of the flat and open countryside there was no escape from the buffeting. Now that its nearly December Im starting to really get stuck in to the winter training phase. However due to shin splints the run training has been a bit minimal and I havent been able to compete on the x-country circuit apart from the regional college x-c champs which Im pleased to say I won, apparently by a 400m margin!
Swim training is going well (at last), there is now a small group of us triathletes in the squad which means we sometimes get our own lane and much needed longer sets - sprinting is not for me! I am proud to say I passed the swim test to allow me to train as lifeguard, which required me to swim 50m in under 60secs!
