Here is a quick snapshot #2. Some film was shot in the warm up and some after the "special don't tell anyone about it secret drill" The difference on entry to start of catch is very interesting to see.

Please feel free to post a question about your swimming

Another good few days of training which incorporated 3 timed events in 3 days.
This started with an unexpected opportunity to post a time in the harbour on Monday and on a perfect evening i managed to post a for me pretty ok 17-02 Thanks to Ian for the timing on that one
Next evening after a 8 mile run i did a very tired 400m TT in the pool and managed a pedestrian aain for me 7-17
And then this evening we had the handicap 10m cycle TT which i was fortunate enough to win, due to 2 factors
(1) The handicap i had was based on my time from a very slow and windy 10m TT at Timanstone on May bday bank holiday and so whilst i was very pleased to win ( a win is as they say a win ) i was aware and expected to post a time faster than my handicap time.
(2) However i did not expect to post my fastest time for nearly 2 years a 26min 54 sec

My thanks to David for organising the event and for Gary, Kirk and Marco for thier help with the timekeping

I plan to try and fit in at least 2 more long runs b4 next Sunday then ease off in preparation for the Thanet Marathon on 5th September.
Also hope to be out on the club bike ride this Saturday again

Well over the last 2 months i have lost another 3kilos and started swimming again with earnest in both the sea and the pool attending both Tue and Sat sessions for the last 2 weeks and the last 5 Tuesday sessions, i also made the Sat bike ride in the pouring rain this week much to everyones amazment including my own.
After a very dissapointing 46min Dinosaur 10k, i have tried to up my running a bit and this week have managed 3 runs all of which have been over 90min the longest of which was over 2 1/2 hours mind i did get lost !!!!!!!
Now if i dont get under 4 hours at the upcoming Thanet Marathon i will be p@@@ed off !!!!

Long time since i posted anything on this page for sure !!I have had a couple of changes happen to me in that i am in the process of finally moving out of my school accomodation and that my Father has been ill since just after christmas and there has been a lot to sort out on both fronts.
That said i did do the Paris marathon in 4-37 after really struggling over the last 10k due to lack of training ( an average of 15miles per week with only 2 10mile runs and the rest below 8 really was no-here near enough even in my lazy boys world !!! ) Mind 4 hours sightseeing the day b4 was not ideal either.
Since Paris i have upped my training a little (could hardly have done less !!!!) and made an effort with my diet and as a result have lost around 3/4 stone. i have done some races culminating in this mornings half marathon, a very hilly course indeed but whilst i wasslower than i have been when the race was at Duke of York i really enjoyed it and view it as the start of my training for the Thanet marathon in september
