Full Steam Ahead

First of the preseason tris this weekend. With the 25th running of the Nepean Triathlon, otherwise known as the West Sydney Worlds. Even with a few disruptions over the past few weeks. Largely due to an extended stay as DP of all things Gnome related, things are going well in the lead up to this.

My initial plan was to train through and race tired. Keeping the big picture in mind. I have however adapted this to ease a little in distance over the last couple of days leading in to actually ensure I make it to the finish rather than fall over half way round. With the training to resume straight on after the race. Pushing through to the major preseason goal of Canberra in a month.

A couple of consistent weekend on the bike and a stringing together of more regular and desirable length swim sessions seems to have me coming into this in quite reasonable condition. Im certain the swim will be some minutes faster than previous years, and after today tempo session on the bike Im sure that the bike leg should improve on last year. These aspects combined with linking in a similar run to last year has me hopeful of a considerable PB over this course. So putting it out there, sub 1hr 50mins. Now to see if it can be put together on the day.

A song for Evie:
