Did my first biathlon in about 6 years at the Boy Charlton pool last night with Wayne and really enjoyed it. Will be good to get a few of us up there for a bit of a challenge in the new year. Knew Wayne is a strong swimmer so wanted to get 2 minutes on him in the run and managed that with a 15.34 for the 4kms and came out of the pool with a 21.14 overall. Wayne was just 30 secs 40 secs behind me around 21.55 which is a great swim after a 17.40 run.
Also got out for the Hurts session and due to a 1.30 meeting I was only going to be able to do about 40 minutes. Conveniently the 5 of us who turned up - Laura, Martin, John and James - all wanted to do the same thing. We decided to just head out on the Monday route and turn at 20 mins and the pace going out was nice at easy at 4.45s - forgot the garmin today so had to rely on James for all stats. John picked the pace up a wee bit on the way back and from the Boy Charlton back I reckon we were down around 4.20s before Martin caught John and I at the entrance to Art Gallery road and it was pretty quick all the way back to the start. All up almost a fartlek session with a out in 20 and back in 19.12 and distance of 8.5kms. So a decent week of mixed training and really happy with my short speed stuff at the moment - body feeling good so maybe the marathon training has done some good! Not sure if I'll get out at all this weekend but will try and sneak in a swim or bike ride somewhere.
