After a mid week aquathon in Bray which saw a slightly long swim with arguably the largest buoy's ever used in any open swim (ever) Im sure some are still hoping to perfect their sighting with Kilkee and Athlone fast approaching. I ordered slightly smaller buoys during the week and am hoping to have these in play for sundays session.
Meeting at the Marine Hotel Sutton for a session in Howth. We will be working near the car park below the summit same as last time. Strength exercise seated overgeared and standing undergeared for about 1k at about 75/80%. Duration of effort and number depending on level.
As you know the European Championships are now only two weeks away. The event attracts Olympic qualification points for 2012 and so will attract all the top athletes from Europe.
Here's your chance to be involved.....and to get a free Irish tracksuit!!!
The Midlands Aquathon was one of my favourite events of 2009 and I determined early on to do at least one of their series of three this year. Last evening, Tara, Anita and I headed for the Lilliput Adventure Centre, Co. Westmeath for the 7.30pm start of the last race of the series.
For the second race in a row I had a bit of a disaster, in Valentia I cracked a cleat but in Athy last Saturday week I had a more serious incident, probably the stupidest thing you can do in Triathlon, I did not drink enough before the race. Dont know how it happened as usually I am very diligent in this area, think I was too busy chatting!!
