Tuesday 15th

This weeks splash 'n' dash was again near Mullingar - 750m lake swim and then a 4km run, good to see another improvement - I did 31.40 and Declan 33.20. Water was warm, and the run was comfortable. Looking forward to Thursday nights lake swim.

Cardio Time

Got my cycling legs in action yesterday with a 100km spin up the Wicklow Mountains. 1500m climb, legs a little sore today but a good days rest should do no harm. Rest day today then our usual 750m swim and 4km run tomorrow night which is the last race in the series. Thinking of doing a 3.6km swim in one of the lakes on Thursday. Running wise. Need to do 50km this week.

Pool Work

Both of us back in the Pool again today just for an hour workout to keep us ticking over. Probably take a rest day tomorrow as I have a 100km cycle on Sunday through Wicklow Mountains and next week is a 50 km week running wise with a race on Tuesday.

Starting to think about gear now and what type of bag to carry gear in, what type of footwear etc.... Think it will just be the traditional runners for us to be honest.

If anyone has a checklist from last years race this would be very much appreciated.

Splashin & dashin

We completed out 2nd 750 swim and 4km run last night in Lough Ennell. Pearse finished in 31 mins and me in 33mins.

This morning just went for a 1km swim to start the week. A quick splash n dash tomorrow night 750km swim & 4km run. And will try and get in a one hour run Thursday or Friday this week.

Sunday June 6th

Did 35 with the club this morning and then another 30 mins wishing I was able to stay with them as they ran away in the distance! I'll be closer next week!

Getting Closer

Well this week we started the 1st series of the Midland Tri Aquathon. 750 swim followed by a 4km run. Gave u both a shock of just how much work is required. Ive got to start running regularly if im going to be in any shape. I have committed to 4 evening a week running a minimum of 10km. Swimming minimum of 2km 3 mornings a week and one large cycle for cardio purposes.
