A Good weeks training

The first week of the year has gone well so far. I cycled to work 3 of the 4 days giving me 135 mile on the road bike plus the 2 hour 20 MTB ride on Monday. I've managed to swim 4 lunch times (that swimming thing hurts after 2 weeks out of the pool!!!). I've ran a 7 mile loop, 2 5 mile loops, and a 11.7 mile loop today. Today's was done on the GPS so the stats were average of 6:13 with mile 10 through to 11 done at 5:50 as I couldn't resist the urge to chase someone down who was further up the road, I guess that's the racer in me!!

Next week I plan to cycle Monday to Thursday which will clock 180 mile with swims Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday as Wednesday I will be cycling back to Market Rasen for a cross country race, will be interesting to see how the race goes with 45 or so miles in the legs?

I've also booked my week in Lanzarote for the end of February and can't wait for some warm weather training. 10 days after is the Dambuster duathlon which is the National Champs so some fast athletes out to play, I'll then find out how the winter training has gone?

That's all for now I think.
