Swim School was great! Different instructor (cute too), spotted a few things i wasn't doing, some minor adjustments, and for once i felt like i was cutting THROUGH the water, rather than resistance! Need to practice and get those muscles conditioned.
Traffic MAYHEM in London, tube strikes. Also, paused my Garmin after nearly stacking it on a cobbled bridge, so i could make some adjustments. Forgot to resume it until another 5km had passed. I'd made SUCH a good effort at the uphill Strava segment too!

An email that went out to the company (i got permission prior to copy/paste). This is one member of our company tri team's reason for signing up
Damian's Story - Why I 'tri'
I’m truly delighted that the Optum International triathlon team has chosen to raise money for the Sick Children’s Trust (SCT); a charity that I had never heard of until two and half years ago, but is now a cause that is very close to my heart.
On Christmas Eve 2012 my then four year old daughter, Evie, was emergency transferred to Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge for life saving surgery for intestinal failure and septicemia.
Evie spent the next two months of her life between critical care and high dependency as she had a number of operations. Thanks to the exceptional critical care team and some very skilled paediatric surgeons, Evie is around today and back to full fitness.
Throughout, my family was supported by some wonderful friends, relatives, Optum workmates and the SCT – all of whom I owe a great debt of gratitude.
The SCT has ten ‘homes from home’ around the country and have supported over 40,000 families since foundation in 1982. They exist to aid the recovery of sick children by supporting the whole family; providing onsite accommodation for families with seriously ill children. It meant that my wife Kirsty and I were able to be with Evie 24 hours a day/7 days a week. They provided us with a room and access to a kitchen, laundry room and a playroom for Evie’s brother, Roddy. It allowed one of us to get some sleep away from the ward whilst the other sat with Evie. In all, the SCT helped keep us sane in a period of great worry and distress.
Today, Evie and Roddy argue and fight like extras in Game of Thrones, have just one volume setting: loud, and are determined to chisel away at my sleep/patience/sanity. It is a relentless war of attrition and I am losing. However, I will never forget how fortunate my wife, Kristy, and I are to have had all the support we did in our time of need, not least from the SCT.
This is why I’ve signed up for the Triathlon. We have a dedicated team who are all a little nervous but ultimately very excited about swimming, cycling and running around East London. All the team has been very supportive of one another and training has really ramped up. There is talk of cramps, chaffing and body butter – conversations that no one really enjoys. We will all be delighted to finish the course but would be truly ecstatic if, in doing so, we were also able to raise our target of £2500 for charity (which will then be doubled by Optum).
So please do whatever you can to sponsor us and support the SCT – there will be a family at the end of your kind gesture who will be forever grateful.0 -

@gobonas99 congrads on the great race/anthem performance! Very impressive swim & bike paces!
Finally took an off day yesterday, resting for the most part, but getting in my ballpark commute by bike. Today was pretty light, as my mid-day run included 4 miles of speedwork (0.25-1 mile-0.25 pyramid at 1:43/400m pace) which wore me out. Last day for my 1-month northern gym membership as well, so just lots of biking/running until I get back to the south early next week.

Numbnuts here forgot to lock the rabbit away last night, looks like a fox took her. And a very inconsolable 6yr old. Still, an hour and half in the pool followed by Mcdonalds seems to have done the trick.
Managed to reinforce some of what I learnt Thursday, and was even told that my stroke is 'graceful'. I strive for efficiency over speed, so graceful is good.

Without the gym membership, I'm doing more biking/running this weekend, but may grab a 1-day pass tomorrow to get in some lifting and swimming before my flight home. Had a faster long run today, and some social riding yesterday, but otherwise, just commuting to/from (some amazing) baseball games. Returning to the hot south tomorrow for the all-star break, so dreading future runs in the 90 degree/90% humidity heat.

Weather has been atrocious and I've been using it as an excuse to be lazy since I posted last. Got in a few good runs, then impulsively signed up for an Olympic Tri on Sunday. Ended up doing better than I expected, though I'm hurting a bit today.
Swim: 1:51/100y pace, placing me just in the top half of the women's field, surprisingly!
Bike: 19.3 mph average on rolling hills. 13th female (out of 56)!
Run: always my biggest limiter- 10:48 pace, 37th female. Slow, relative to the rest of the field, but only a few minutes off my stand alone 10k PR.
Transitions were pretty slow- I'm still using bike shoes with multiple straps instead of tri shoes and I had to take off the quick laces on my running shoes because my arches cramp when I use them, but, I wasn't in a wetsuit, so my T1 was comparatively quick.
Overall, really happy with my time (and finishing in the top half of the women's field!) but definitely a lot of work to do before September's 70.3.0 -

cant view it at work... will try later
So one of the tri team has just been telling me that he thinks he might drop out. Doubts about the swim. Same guy that was telling me that he would absolutely destroy the cycle (then got his *kitten* handed to him at the velodrome). He just hasn't really put a lot of effort (or any) into the training. That annoys me, as there were other people that wanted to do it, and couldn't as places were full. I've suggested he comes to swim school tomorrow evening with me. Whilst i know and accept that i'll be slow on the swim, i know that i wont be physically destroyed by it. Did 1.2km yesterday and stopped only because of time constraints. Felt fresh enough to be able to do another 40 lengths. (couple of months ago 400m would leave me shattered for a couple of days!)0 -

Ended up in traveler limbo for an extra day due to some flight cancellations and delays, so I was able to do some extra northern running, but didn't have gym access to get in swimming/lifting, nor did I have a reason to bike. Still, I probably needed some lighter exercise days and got back on track today. At mid-month, I'm a touch behind the halfway point in swimming & lifting, but well ahead on running & biking, so no worries with hitting my monthly goal.
Congrads to both @gobonas99 and @sbrrepeat on your weekend tris! Both of you have me revved up for my next tri in 4 weeks.

I changed tyres from 23mm Gatorskins, to 25mm GP4000s2 (they actually measure 27.2mm width), and changed tubes to latex. Apart from the immediate improvement in feel (has completely smoothed out the ride even on the gravel), it's saved 0.2kg of rotational weight, and my commute is a few minutes faster

Swim today, decided to not mess around struggling with freestyle, and just went for it Breaststroke. A shade under 23mins. Closing the gap. Still slow, but far quicker than i was a short while ago. 3m03/100m. If i could take 10 seconds off that over the next 4 weeks, i'd be pretty happy
