ON HOLIDAYS

So we are going to write off June and now think about the future.

First day of July and all in front of us to combine both life, work and training in a sensible balance.

Long Time Between Posts

Wow time flies with work and life.

Haven't done a lot of Tri-related things lately and have been taking full advantage of some downtime to relax, have some fun with friends and just keep fit. Lisa has actually had to restock the wine fridge after it lay dorment for a good 6 months.

New jobs also keeps you busy big time which has really cut into training time.

In saying that, both of us have been doing regular running and biking. Lisa doing a lot of running, as I am still coming back from my earlier shin splints and I am doing a lot of riding. Have been consistent enough to keep my average km's per week on the bike around the 250 mark, but only low intensity work at best most of the time.

With 10 weeks till Yeppoon though, we plan to get a bit more focussed.

This weekend just gone was Lisa's Half Marathon run debut with a 1:46 effort that was quite a bit quicker than her previous best. A good confidence booster and places her well if she can continue to keep her long runs going and build on this. Her weekly long runs at the moment are on the 2hr range and considering her next big race is over a year away, that places her in a good spot.
