Another solid week of training this week - quite happy with how things have gone, only missed one session (unfortunately it was a bike ride, which I think I need to do more of, as I've been averaging just two rides a week lately, vs. planned three).
Running now up to 1h+, cycling up to 3h+ - and have to say I'm starting to feel the volume increase in my legs; muscles/ITB feel definitely "tighter" than they were, which - again - stresses the importance of physio work that I'm lagging behind on. Note to self: **** NEED MORE FOCUS HERE.... ****
Got promoted to Lane 1 at the Monday Kingfishers swim session and very quickly got shown where my place is. Which is most definitely not in Lane 1. It was VERY tough to keep up with the guys and I actually developed a bit of a twitch in my right shoulder trying to, which has been with me through the rest of the week. Thinking of skipping the swim tomorrow to let it rest a little bit - better safe than sorry. Let's see what the coach says.
BTW, the guy currently leading Lane 1 at Kingfishers is coming with us to Poland - he's taking Woody's place. Just for comparison - my 400m time is 6:21, his is 5:05...
But then he's only 22, so has plenty of time to get slower, doesn't he.
Back to FitNat this week and back on track as far as weight loss is concerned. Came in under 90kg for the first time on Saturday morning (89.3kg @ 20.4% BF), but then had plenty of food out and a lot to drink at Mrs Jellybaby's 30th, so we'll see tomorrow morning where the weekend has actually landed me on. Chuffed nevertheless, don't actually remember last time my weight opened with an 8.
Nearly 2/3 of the way to PL - getting ever so slightly anxious now.
Made a list of kit still to buy before the race - Speedfil, better sunglasses (with ventilation between rims and lenses, so that they don't steam up when I'm tucked in), and a new wetsuit (I'm about 20kg lighter than I was when I bought my current one!). Broke the news to Mrs Kfjatek tonight - she was not impressed.
