Last week I was in the pool, chatting to Gary from Tri Northumberland (speaking of which - have you seen that the Ashington Sprint Triathlon is FULL ? If you’re thinking of doing one of the Northumberland triathlons, you’d better sign-up SOON!) about how bloody cold it is out on the bike at the...

Time was short today, with a whole bunch of stuff that needed doing at home. It was also pretty cold out, and threatening to rain, so I wimped out and did the week’s long ride on the turbo.

Another Monday, another session in the pool. As I’m still in the Prep Phase of my training, I was concentrating on technique again - 200m warm-up, 500m of various Total Immersion drills (both with the Fist Gloves on), and then 200m of full stroke. One of my clients, Gary from Tri Northumberland was also...
