Well the hard work is almost done and what a relief to have a winter that has not been interrupted by illness or injury as the last two have. Mind you homework and school activities do there best to muck up my training routine!
Although I do some cross country events in the winter I only believe the competition season is with us once the County swimming champs are under way and this weekend I had a couple of races in my favoured fly event and feel happy with how things went with a sub 30sec 50m fly and a 10 second PB in my 200m fly the results of which will give me another run out in the regionals in June.
Now things start to pick up as various events from further swimming galas, some bike races and runs take up more of my routine than just training so we can see if all the hard work is paying off before we hit the triathlon season in earnest. Moving up to Youth age group this year I am also looking forward to more events like Eton and Blenheim as both the venues and competition are more challenging and enjoyable.
