Ghantoot Dirt Route:
Wow, what a couple of days. Getting back the sand pit has been great. It's been great to see everyone on the tri team and it's been great to get into some proper training again. My programme for this month is pretty steady and mostly I'm on easy stuff, getting used to the heat again and the humidity. Friday we did a time trial, as a whole group 3 lots of 13kms. I averaged 43kmph throughout, which at this stage of my off season I was happy with. Swimming wise I'm back in the pool hitting out 1.20min per 100m at easy pace and a steady 1km time trial. My running has been fun and to be honest I'm just taking it all a tad steady simply due to the heat etc. This evening I ran with the team on the Ghantoot dirt run 9km off road, then 4.7km at any pace wise you like. My splits are below, kms 1 to 9 were with the team nice and steady, kms 9 to 13 were as you like:
1 00:05:34
2 00:05:45
3 00:05:51
4 00:06:15
5 00:06:40
6 00:06:21
7 00:06:20
8 00:06:22
9 00:05:55
10 00:04:34
11 00:04:37
12 00:04:34
13 00:04:27
Back to work on Monday, still it's been a great summer and Sarah and I have loved every minute. Thanks to everyone who has made it possible from the tri team, friends back home in the UK and lastly, most importantly our families. Especially Jack the dog, we miss you boy and love you forever.
Be safe as always,
Ed
