Living here has it's associated problems but I won't go into those here. As this is a Triathlon Blog, I try and keep personal whinges/problems away from these posts. Needless to say, however,training has been very limited over the past 5 - 6 weeks. I am now getting some cycling done and the odd run. Swimming has all but dried up. I suppose I should do something about that but as I am unable to race any triathlons next year due to work comittments, my head is saying 'what's the point?'
Readers may remember that I had a sad end to the season, with a leg injury pretty much ruining my attempt at my first Ironman. Well that injury is all but gone . . . I think? I suppose it is hard to tell when training is sparse! Hopefully, the break will have helped me repair and I can run properly again.
As for the coming months, I am not really sure which direction to go in. My thoughts are leaning towards some running focus, whilst I tick over on the bike and swim. After a 2011 season focussing on Middle Distance and Ironman training, I think some shorter stuff, with a focus on run speed could be in order. Not sure if the old bones will take the bashing that comes with speed training; I am feeling my age lately and the swift races I produced during 2011 seem a life time ago already.
There is plenty of chat from RAF Triathletes relating to plans for 2012 and I will really enjoy watching the exploits of everyone. I love results and contrasting performances etc but I am sure I will be a bit whistful when I see some race results from events that I really would have liked to have participated in. Oh well, Let's see what the future brings. Roll on 2014 - new age group . . . . MMmmmmmmm
