Easy Bike, 22miles

Took an evening jaunt over to Luton, passed the Airport, Wigmore and back out the lanes to Peters Green.

From there it was down to East Hyde, over the hill and down to Luton Hoo and home.

Beautiful evening and the legs feel good after a step up in volume and intensity this week.

Easy run tomorrow morning and then down to the Kent coast for the weekend. Wetsuit packed for a few sessions in the sea.

Swim Session

The swimming is my real weak spot. I struggle to get into a comfortable rhythm and so my breathing goes horribly wrong.

Today was drill time. Just working on bilateral breathing and rotation so that I get air instead of water. It worked fairly well, just a few gulps of the chlorinated stuff.

By the end of my session I managed a few lengths in a good relaxed state that meant breathing comfortably and making good steady progress.

I have a few sea swims planned for the weekend. We'll see how they go.
