30 Jul 2009

Bike:
33km - 1:07

Easy bike ride. Flat, but windy. That's it until race day. Nerves starting to set in...

28 Jul 2009

Bike:
32km - 1:08

Easy ride to test out knee. 80% ok, no problem!

Also tried out newly acquired SaltStick. Very cool. Hope that it will help with cramps on Sunday.

Swim:
1700m - 32:00 (approx.)

Easy open-water swim.

26 Jul 2009

Running:

Test run at moderate speed except a fast km (4:28). Knee much better.

25 Jul 2009

Römerman
1800m - 21:41 (141/480)

Decided to do only the swim leg, to be on the safe side. 1800m downstream. Flying down the Neckar...

Fantastic event with some male and female professionals - great to be a spectator for a change.


23 Jul 2009

Swim: 1200m (approx.)

Easy open-water swim.

Bit of an inflammation in one of the tendions behind the knee. On anti-inflammatories and rest. Not so hopeful for Saturday...

Bike:
28km - 1:10 (540m)

Early morning hilly bike ride. Legs much better.

20 Jul 2009

Swim:
2000m - 35:45

Moderately paced swim in 50m pool. Got mild cramps in left shin after 20 minutes - weird.

18 Jul 2009

Bike:
96km - 3:17

Last long and flat bike ride before Antwerp. Quite wet and windy.

Moderate speed, flat, a bit humid, but all good.

13 Jul 2009

Swim 1600m (1000, 8*50, 200)

Quick swim in 25m pool in Chorley. Added some intervals to fight boredom...

Easy run alongside the canal in Chorley (except one sub 4:30km)

11 Jul 2009

Just signed up for Challenge Kraichgau next year ;-)

10 Jul 2009

Another long ride in quite windy conditions. Tough at stages, but all in all ok.

09 Jul 2009

Swim:
2000m - 34:40

Moderately paced swim in 50m pool. Got mild cramps in both calves after 1800m - strange.

One of the toughest halfs I have run in a while. Over 25 degrees at the start and a course that was never really flat... Took it as a hard training run which was good, especially after yesterday's long ride.


04 Jul 2009

Bike:
101km - 3:21

First of three long rides before Antwerp. Ideal conditions - flat (except the last mile), warm, sunny and a mild breeze. Was able to hold 30 km/h quite easily. Still struggling with nutrition though.

03 Jul 2009

Swim: 1500m

Easy open-water swim.

02 Jul 2009

Running:
10.2km - 60:00 (ascent 580m)

What was supposed to be an easy run turned into a very hilly hour in humid conditions. Had to stop numerous times to get my breadth back...

01 Jul 2009

Bike:
44.6km - 1:41 (ascent 550m)

Another hilly ride in quite humid conditions. Starting to get the hang of those hills (a bit).
