well its weigh in day again today and am hoping for another good loss. have saved over 20 points this week (half of what ive earned. i think the key with all the training is not to save too many points) so well see later how my plan has gone. did the run on friday afternoon in the heat and the sweat was piddling off. i figure half ironman could chuck any weather condition at me so i may as well train in the afternoon as i do now and prepare my body for all sorts of conditions and just monitor my fluid intakes to suit. saturday i did a full rehersal of next weekends triathlon 750 swim, 21k ride and 4.5k run. all went well and did it in 1hr36 i plan to complete it in about 10 mins faster than this on sunday (fingers crossed) as we mucked around abit in our 'transitions' so we'll see. then on sunday i went for a 20min walk to the pools and intended to swim for an hour but i got stuck talking and ended up wasting almost 45 mins so ended up doing a mere 500mtrs. wes pretty pissed at myself for letting that happen but at least i made it down there. and have frained everyday this week as planned normally i miss sessions left right and centre. not now new start new me!! am doing another 8k run tonight too. will record weight loss tomorrow!! hopefully the scales like me this week, ive discovered one thing through my journey and that is training messes with weight loss! too much food one minute so u gain then not enough then u still gain as ur body holds all its stores! utter confusion aaahhh well its all part of the journey!!
