Encounter

Thursday, June 07, 2007

Managed to make myself go swimming twice, and managed to complete 2km each time (but with multiple stops). I should be able to keep a pace of 70sec per lap at the moment. Still trying to get the feel and glide by visualising a downhill swim, and using the entire arm to catch the water.

In general, training has been substandard, touching a bit of each sport but not putting in real quality training. I need to increase the mileage for my running (especially) and cycling, but I don't seem to have the time or energy (I'm pretty satisfied with an average swimming performance). I also lack the high intensity efforts on the bike which I must obtain by turning up for more group rides. In general, I am not recovering fast enough to hit the training intensities required. This suggests a need to increase the amount of rest between trainings. More sleep would certainly help.
