And I did.
I needed some rest after the effort in September and October and although I kept active a bit, there was no structure or plan behind it.
The niggles I was suffering from for a number of weeks have disappeared and as of last Monday, I am back in training.
The focus this year will be on triathlons with the first one being the Australia Day Triathlon at Point Walter on, well, Australia Day. From there on we'll see.
Much will depend on whether I finally manage to learn to swim comfortably, something which looks like an impossibility at present.
I am aiming at going for a swim three times a week, not for very long, but just to get used to it. Eventually I will probably need to get some coaching.
The riding is coming along quite nicely, I really enjoy that. It's also a lot easier as I can ride into work virtually any day I like - if I feel like it and am properly organised.
So this week looked as follows (all pretty much base training, except for swimming which included drills):
Monday: Run 33', Weights 15';
Tuesday: Run 60', Swim 40', Weights 15';
Wednesday: Ride 51';
Thursday: Swim 31';
Friday: Run 45', Weights 10';
Saturday: Run 60', Swim 40', Weights 5';
Sunday: Ride 106', Weights 10'.
Yes, I know, forgot the rest day....
Totals:
Swim: 91' 3.2ks
Ride: 157' 71.9ks
Run: 198' 37.2ks
Weights: 60'
