Set Backs

Hello virtual world. Ages since my last Blog. To be frank, not an awful lot going on in my tri ventures. I have had a number of set backs with illness and injury - old age! I have been saying that for the last 10 years! I was feeling like I was getting back to some sort of shape and had entered a local duathlon series. These 3 races are short at 2.5k/10k/2.5k. However, the course is on a local airfield and traffic free. So a good fun race series to start off with for 2018. A calf pull put pay to the first race that should have been on 3 May 18. I had been running well off the bike and certainly capable of running well under 4:00 min per kilometre no matter how hard I ride on the bike. Oh well, the next race is 8 June and I hope to be back to health to enjoy the race. I have upped my bike training due to the fact that I am not running. Yesterday was a glorious sunny day - the first I can remember for ages. So I took the Evo2max out for a spin. A mixed session consisted of a times 10 mile pushed on the Uttoxeter/Denstone road and some hilly efforts. The 10 mile was surprisingly fast at 24:30. Maybe I should enter dome TTs on the Specialized to see if I can get back to decent bike shape!
