Surf ski stayed upright on the weekend for the first time, but I am still hopelessly slow and unstable – 42:38 for 6k is around 8.4kph, and entry level appears to be about 10kph. Not even sure that I was that much faster than last week’s 45:16 if you adjust for the swim component.
To make 10kph in 8 weeks will require an average improvement of just over 2% per week, which would seem optimistic – though I am (rather obviously) at the beginner end of the learning curve.
Mt Portal run on Sunday with Ads and Luke. Always a nice run but highlighted a whole world of general weakness in my lower body, and was quite sore yesterday, including a bit of roughness around the Achilles. Took a rest day Monday and a gym session this morning in an attempt to straighten things out. Will get Brett over this week which always helps.
Progress still happening.
A good weekend ahead:
Ø Winter Magic Festival Saturday morning
Ø Club duathlon Saturday afternoon
Ø Ski paddle Sunday morning
Ø RJ Taekwondo gradings midday
Ø Sunday afternoon Faulco ride – depending on the effort level is always either good training OR a good way to close a winter weekend – but never both.
How fast can you go in your bath tub?
ReplyDeleteAbout the same speed ATM. But I can paddle full gas in the tub, not even getting tired in the ski, as only flapping around like my nan swatting flies.
