After my first endeavour into open water I splashed out(!) on my very own wetsuit. Eager to give it a whirl off I went to The Waters Edge COLT session for another dip, this time I thought I'd try and measure the distance/time with my trusty running GPS watch. I appreciate that GPS signals can come and go in sketchy conditions and I also understand they may be lost totally under water, I also totally get that I have navigation issues in the open - but I didn't expect this map! As many have suggested next time I shall have the GPS under my swim cap to hopefully keep hold of a decent signal in the meantime I'm on the look out for a multi-sport watch.
Other swimming endeavours have included some more interval training which is all very dull to do nevermind blog about! But there is also this little gem, at around 3mins better than previous pool miles swims I am somewhat chuffed with a 38:39 mile!
Due to the lovely weather of late I have being trying to cram some bike miles in as this is probably my worst event in the triathlon. I have managed to chuck in around 125k over 4 rides which might not sound a lot but they certainly didn't pedal themselves!

And now for run news - actually great run news. My knee has been very good recently so much so I have started working back into som hill runs which have been going great! Feels awesome to get back up the Big Dipper route but I don't want to got too far too quick so for now am happy to stick with that as hill work, but the future's bright!
