HOLIDAYS - SO LAZY WITH THE POSTING

Well, have to admit that I haven't been very active on blog for last two weeks as been off work and just lazy re blogging but not re training. So starting from last post I will update ye with the training done:

Saturday 16th August

Finished the session with Shaun and got in all the sessions as previously stated. Overall was happy but realised that nighttime cycling will be considerably slower. Pushed it in every session, especially the first one which seemed to be a race between Clubber and Shaun. I just hung on and took the draft.

Knackered today and missed session with Swords. Did get a game of ball in and, as family away, went to see Inglorious Bastards and avoided the chocs.

Sunday 17th August

Did 2hr 5 min run with Paddy - felt fine throughout but legs were very heavy afterwards. Pace was slow but there was a very strong wind about, which might have been the reason for that (or maybe it was the fact that I weigh 210lbs!!!)

Overall I did 14.5 hrs and three hours of soccer for the week.

Week starting Monday 18th August

Tried to take a step back this week so didn't do as much.

Cycling - Cycled home from work on Monday and into work Tuesday with each session lasting about 75 mins. Then cycled with Kevin O'Sullivan on Wednesday for 70 mins very easy. Kevin is an accomplished swimmer and fierce competitor but only coming back from a broken ankle so easy enough session. On Saturday I cycled with Karl and Shaun for two hours and chatted about the RAI etc. Overall did 5 hrs 40 mins of cycling.

Running - 30min run on Monday and ran with Paddy for a hard 90 mins on Tuesday. Good session with Paddy and a good pace. However didn't meet Paddy for other sessions as planned as life got in the way!

Swimming - None. Very Bad.

Football - The usual 2 hrs on Thursday and played for 1 hr on Saturday.

Aquathon - Did the 3Dtri Aquathon in Skerries on Saturday, in between my two hour cycle and game of footie. Was a 750m swim and 4km run. 6th out of water in this race and 9th overall. Happy enough. Didn't do the bigger Aquathon as felt would be pushing it with other activities I was doing during day.
