RECAP SINCE LAST FRIDAY

Last Week

Did nothing on Friday or Sunday and sandwiched a cycle in on Saturday for about 2.5/3 hrs. Had two punctures. Thanks to Joe and Connor for helping me with first and a super vet named Liam Mackey who fixed the second and found the reason for the puncture - a thorn in the tyre. Should have checked tyre first time but felt under pressure as cycling with Swords and didn't want to hold them up. The cycle with Swords for the first hour was really really easy - don't know if they were going slow or if I am just getting faster and fitter.Will soon find out anyways.

Total time for week was 11 hours - had hoped to do more.

This Week

Monday 31/8 - Ran with Leewa. Was a fartlek session and Garret Early and Gav Farrell took part. They were miles ahead of me, especially going up hill, and total session was 55 mins. Hamstring felt very sore.

Tuesday 1/9 - Ran with Alan for 55 mins easy around Skerries. Hammer felt a bit better but still a nag there.

Wednesday 2/9 - Cycled into work for total of 75 mins from door to door. Felt good and kept a decent pace up. Didn't wanna go with Shaun as Hegarty is just to slow - only joking Shane - just didn't get text as lost phone!

Also did my own speed session in pool in gym in IFSC - swam total of 2,000 metres and felt surprisingly good.

Thursday 3/9 - Swam 1,500m at lunchtime - felt okay again but want to get a long open water swim this weekend if I can find time.
