Time to get down to some nitty gritty - We decided to go for Donabate beach in North Co Dublin, about one hour from where we live. Its a long beach with a very gentle slope into the water so that you could be 100m from the shoreline and still be only in 1metre of water. The water was clear and easy to swim in, very calm.
Two goals today
1) How would we tolerate running while wearing the wetsuits?
Both of us are glad to report that there were no problems experienced by either of us.
2) How would we be with nutrition over this distance?
We kept nutrition to a minimum to see how we would react to the increase in intensity. No hunger pangs and no thirst either.
Overall it was a good day and so tomorrow will be a rest day. Tuesday is Charlie (my little boys) birthday, he will be one! What better reason to relax and enjoy the day.
