'A wash out week' in terms of both weather and training volume

So looking back at last week a bit of a wash out in terms of both weather and training volume. It was probably one of the lowest volume weeks since I started on the program back in December, in all about 7 hours. Most of that was spent in the garage with little time on the road. The good news is that I was able to spend lots of quality time with my son and quite a bit of R&R.

Over the weekend, and despite the awful weather conditions, I did manage an off-road run and a game of touch rugby (taking it nice and easy).

This week has started well with 3 hours already completed. I scheduled in an extra 2 hour easy ride (commute to work), although this morning it was quite tough cycling into the wind. This evening I was in the pool with the main set consisting of 4x 600m with paddles and pull-buoys.

Tomorrow is an hour off-road run
Wednesday: cycle / swim
Thursday: run / open-water swim
Friday: cycle
Saturday: swim / long run
Sunday - long cycle

If all goes to plan it will be a 15 hour week so double last week's effort.

Thursday's open water swim should be interesting - the first of the season. Hopefully I can get in the lake otherwise it will have to be the sea, subject to weather conditions.

The following week gets even more interesting with more test sets and over 7 hours of training in one day (swim, bike and run) - more detail to follow.
