I have dabbled with Triathlons and have decided that for now I am going to concentrate on running and Open Water Swimming! I am very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the UK and to have Lake Windermere as my local playground!

Bricking it!
Tonight I did my last brick session and my last exercise before the big day! I wanted to remind my legs what a brick session feels like so opted to do a very short cycle followed by a very short off road run! I did 4.7 miles on the bike, followed by a 1.13 mile run. Altogether I was out just 36 minutes! I need to reserve all my energy for Saturday! Hopefully it will go some way to helping my legs overcome "THAT" feeling on Saturday!
Despite the fact I have harped on about just wanting to finish and survive this Tri I have found myself setting a goal finish time! So if all goes to plan and the weather is perfect I would be absolutely delighted if I could finish in 1 hour 40 minutes! My "DREAM" goal time is made up of: 400m Open Water Swim: 12 minutes Transition 1 (wet suit removal!): 4 minutes 20K (12.42 miles) Cycle: 55 minutes Transition 2: 2 minutes 5K (3.10 miles) Trail Run: 27 minutes Finish Time which dreams are made of: Sub1 hour 40 minutes. Realistic Finishing Time:Sub 1 hour 45 minutes. Will be happy with: Sub 1 hour 50 minutes. I have a full day at work tomorrow, hopefully followed by a restful evening and an early night so I am fully recovered and full of energy for Saturday ready to achieve my goals!
