I feel much better now.
After a faintly disappointing training week so far (no swimming on Wednesday, less than stellar bike ride on Thursday), I'm really very pleased with the brick session I just completed. After doing a 50 minute Greenway circuit on the bike, I got round a hilly 3 mile run course in an extraordinary 23:30! Rather impressed with myself, it has to be said. Although it was probably the energy drink, rather than me...

Another run.
I'm lonely...
Anyway, Nom and I ran for 22 minutes on the greenfly-free Greenway tonight. A really enjoyable run (!) with lovely sun, a nice breeze and enough swallows and bunnies to keep me entertained!
Unfortunately I should not be put in charge of the GPS as I accidentally set it to Chrono Mode, which means that it only records time, not distance. Sob!
So now we have to do the same run again very soon.

Run around the block...some more numbers
Poor Nom arrived home from work and was almost immediately whisked out for a run. In the rain. Not a bad little trundle, 2.102 miles in 19:58 averaging 6.3 miles per hour, which isn't a bad old whack. Felt fine, if soaked on the return home, but I was pleased to discover that I could easily have done more.
Bendy lessons tonight though, so didn't want to overdo it. Another run tomorrow night, this time on the Greenway. It's run week!

Having a Tri's official visit to Ilkley (and some numbers)
Numbers first, or I'll forget.
Last Monday's second cycle: 10.96 miles in 54.39. Average speed 12mph.
Yesterday was the my first view of the Ilkley course. It's about one third flat, one third uphill and one third of amazing downhill. Thank everything that the course isn't the other way round because Curly Hill is a SERIOUS slope. We got up to (and in the Corporal's case above) 40mph on the steep bit, officially the fastest I've ever travelled on a bike.
Got round the nine mile bike in 39 minutes, then went for a trundle around it on foot. Next trip's a swim-bike as we haven't done one of those yet.
We actually cycled 22 miles yesterday, then replaced the calories with chicken and sausages. Oh, and Doritos.
