07/02/2013: 1.5km swimming time trial

Monthly time trial event with Cardiff Triathletes.

I didn't manage to finish the whole 1.5km in the allotted 40 minutes last time so was hoping to better that this time and wasn't particularly fussed at the time itself, just merely wanted to finish.

I did try recording the laps on my garmin, but unfortunately the lap counter was full half way through so i only have up to lap 23 or so (25m pool). Have been toying with the idea of replacing my garmin with the 910xt (to get the auto swim lap feature), but its £350.00 for the triathlete pack and I want to replace my trainers first and then get a set of aerobars formy bike, so it'll just have to wait.

Managed to finish the 1.5km in 39:40 (including the rest periods of 4mins 50) so will hopefully be able to better this in a months time at the next one.

09/02/2013: 15 mile run with Joe

Garmin: https://connect.garmin.com/activity/271660130

15 miles to help Joe with his marathon training.

Think I might have over done it towards the end as my ankle started to twinge. In hindsight I should probably have stopped to take a look at it rather than just carrying on, but lesson learned. Had to take a few days off running afterwards but managed to keep up with the swimming which was good.

16/02/2013: 9 mile run including park run

Ran to bute park park run, ran park run, ran home.

Didnt split it up into 3 separate runs (wasn't really functioning at that time in the morning!) but managed to knock out a 19:42 5km which I'm pretty happy with. Apparently this equals my logged 2012 PB in pool parkrun, and I had a pretty crappy start on this one, so hopefully will be able to beat it in a few weeks.

Am considering replacing my wednesday night tempo runs with park run on a saturday morning and playing with altering the distances by running further after the 5km event finishes.
