What a week!
This week has just been a joy. Despite missing one workout I have managed to swim a full Ironman distance in 1 hour and 30 minutes (in fact I swam 3.9 km instead of 3.8 just for fun :) I also (almost) finished a half marathon distance in 1 hour and 40 minutes. I was 1 km short of the half marathon distance simply because I didn't want to do another loop around our house. If I add another 5 minutes for the last kilometer it's still a whopping 20 minutes (!!) faster then my last half marathon run.
Training seems to be paying off :)
The cycling part was a bit slow this week because of the weather getting worse (brace yourself, winter is coming) so I am basically just riding at a smallish pace of around 25 km/h and covering as much as possible. I'll try to add a bunch of hill sessions instead of this fast paces just because I can't ride fast anyway in this conditions without risking to be blown away by wind or slide of on the wet road.
My numbers from last week:
| Distance | Time | Pace | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swim | 5.9 km | 2:30:00 h | 25.4 min / km |
| Bike | 45.51 km | 1:59:40 h | 2.55 min / km |
| Run | 22.28 km | 1:52:28 h | 5.01 min / km |
All in all, I will soon crack the 1000 km mark as you can see below :)
| Distance | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Swim | 45.55 km | 17:08:00 h |
| Bike | 616.85 km | 28:44:27 h |
| Run | 177.10 km | 15:04:38 h |
Until next week, don't forget to be awesome :)
