Aches and Pains!

Managed to squeeze a 2k straight swim in on Saturday. Only had 35 mins so set the countdown timer for 35mins and commenced at a very easy pace. Finished the 2k on exactly 35mins. If I can swim in a straight line, i am hoping to convert that into a sub 1:10 swim in Almere (World long Course Tri). Well, after what was meant to be a (shorter) long run on Monday, I have aches and pains everywhere! My achilles is still giving me pain and my lower back now aches! With less than 3 weeks to go until FLM, this is not good. I ran 16 miles at 7:24 per mile pace which should be easy. Hopefully, the taper will allow me to feel better. Scheduled for an easy spin on the bike and a swim technique session today. The weather is better today - no snow! It's cold but the sun is shining, so a nice easy spin on the single speed...... ah! There is no easy spinning on the single speed! It is a great workout on the single speed but the hills do tend to be ridden harder than if you were riding a geared bike. Just been reading Roy Brunning's Blog. Man, the Cyprus life looks good! the location for the Cyprus Duathlon looked fantastic. Certainly seems as though the Cyprus posting has worked well for Roy's training. Work calls.
