A trilogy of triathlons

Oh dear what have I done - as the end of my last post said the Fylde Tri-ology Series opened for entries....so I entered not 1 event but the whole series. So next year I, along with some workmates, will be competing in at least 3 sprint distance triathlons as part of Team Penguin!

To see and be seen!
So with that in mind last nights swim was quite productive and the longest to date - only 750m but still the longest to date. Tonight I thought I'd try a run now that the knee is allegedly fixed - so off I trot into the dark winter night with my latest accessories in tow.
The Led Lenser H7R is quite probably the best headtorch I've used. It has variable brightness and a zoom focus - perfect for lighting up the entire cycle path. The 2 Silva LED lights have a solid and blinking mode making them ideal for visibility.

Anyway back to the run, the knee was holding up fine until about 3k, so backing off the pace a little I managed to 'limp' it home to 4.3k in total. Not bad for the first time out in weeks and the knee felt fine 5mins after getting home so hopefully a few more steady runs and we should be getting somewhere!! Let the training commence......
