Back on track

Another good couple of weeks in the bag and things are looking good for port mac 70.3 in 6 weeks.

I have been continuing on with my ultra mega bulk lotsies swim routine, and it finally seems to be paying off with a super fast and surprising 1k tt time in the pool last wednesday. Lets just say the coach and my self were pretty impressed. It's good to finally see some improvement on this front.

On the cycling front, last tuesday i committed to 20 minutes of pain with my main training man seano. We both committed to a ftp test on the bike. Lets just say the theme of the morning was pain sweat and tears, but damm it felt good :) we were both super psyched with our results and have already started to put in the information gained from the test with the information we gained from a chat with one of the head wais cycling coaches into our training. I think we are both really going to see some great improvements in our cycling. I can't thank sean enough for the use of his power meter lately, it has been a HUGE help



I'm also finally back doing some goodish running miles and just this morning clocked a 1.18 at freo half marathon (course was measured as 21.5k mind you). I felt super strong and finished the run with two 3.30 k's, it felt good....well not literally..





In other news I've been lucky enough to pick up some help from On shoes. http://www.on-running.com/ seriously check them out. They are a really revolutionary shoe and I am really enjoying running in them. Get on them if you are looking for something different in a shoe! Below is a quick snap in me in them after the freo half.



Apart from that it's business as usual, just training away and working hard. Exciting!! :D

Until next time ;)
