The date for my move back to the Middle East is now confirmed. So what does this mean for my triathlon journey? Thanks to my previous 2 years spent in KSA with the RAF I pretty much know what to expect. Training will be centred around the accommodation compound. This means multi-lap bike riding and turbo/rollers to get the cycling completed. Ditto for running; lots of laps and some treadmill work. Strength work will be vital and there is a decent gym to undertake this conditioning training. Swim training should be improved as there are 2 pools to choose from and these will be available most of the time - no real timetable to restrict training. I have my trusty single speed bike already in-situ:
I was going to take my race bike. However, a travel complication has prevented this. . . . .Doh! To enable indoor training (air con a must!) I am taking these rollers:
Yes; fold up rollers! I have not used these yet but I will post a review once I have pedalled some decent sessions on them.
As for racing, I have no idea what will happen. I would like to race in some of the Middle East big 70.3 events but time will tell if this will be possible. Moving up to the 55-59 age group is motivating. Let's see what happens. . . . .
