Training Review - Weeks 49 & 50

The weather had a decent say on training this fortnight. Winter has arrived and snow and ice have affected my ability to train outdoors. I have managed some runs, but have kept them close to home and on roads that I trusted to be at least minimally slippy. Also the students have finished up for the year so I am on my own for a while and this means replacing the missing swim and spin sessions with solo efforts, all of which I missed this week because of the weather. I passed the 1,000 run miles that I had planned for the year. I also passed my bike stretch target of 2,200 miles. And I have managed (somehow) to do all my smaller targets.

I swam pretty poorly, and by the time I was out of transition I had lost over 40 seconds on the eventual third place. And while I ran well enough to catch most of that back, it wasn't enough. Meanwhile, someone swam 2 minutes slower than me, but was able to run over 2 minutes quicker to take second place.  My hip is starting to bother me again. The injections I had at the start of the year have just about worn off now. I need to start chasing to get them redone again in time for next season.  Actuals, (T arget) -  Swim 4.4 ...
