Steady progress

I hope. In terms of running I'm not so sure that there's any progress going on. Two weeks ago I hit the all time low in 10K. My only excuse is that I felt like shit. Likely, the power of the local running family was so strong that I did not retire...

Swimming is now slightly better than it was right after when we returned from our trip to the USA. At least the average pace of 200m'2 has gradually dropped, not dramatically, but there's an improvement to be noticed. Still I get my ass beaten by really really slow swimmer who proceed with breast strokes. While having an extremely competitive mindset, it is painful but realistic.

Bike training is now taking place in the Bike Torture Chamber. My friends, such as the Simpsons, Big Bang Theory, Wu-Tang Clan, Behemoth, various movies, and whatever list I'm playing on Spotify, are accompanying my hours in our basement. As you may read between the lines: BTC is nowadays a bearable place.

Today I had an opportunity to join our clubs BRICK WO and it was a pleasure. 2 hours of sweat and great company.

High 5

This band might accompany me on my (and our = TuUl triathlon teams) way to next Summer's endeavours. Let's see what happens...

Back at it

I'm back. Not 100%, but still.

Our visit in the US went fast, but it did not contain any swimming or biking. Thus, I decided that both will be added to the new weekly routine. Due to pretty awesome Workout Tuesday (12km steady state on ice), I was on our bike trainer on Wednesday morning and swam on Wednesday evening. Bike was nice, but swimming felt really heavy and extremely slow (it was slow, so it feeling was just right).

On Friday evening I biked another hour (incl. 10x15sec'45sec full steam) and Saturday I had a short time slot for some swimming. The main workout for yesterday was 5x1600m on treadmill (5:45-5:25). An easy start...
