SWIM-BIKE session today. Started this morning with a good 700 metre front crawl swim in the marina, followed by another 700 metres performing balance and propulsion drills with the centre snorkel.

After a tasty meat and nuts breakfast, out on the bike and headed up to the Quesada roundabout along the CV905 cycle path for a 30k ride.

MORE SWIM training this morning with the pull buoy followed by a 40 km bike ride.

I have a slight muscle pull in my left shoulder following the swim, hope it repairs itself after 24 hours rest.

SWIM TRAINING with a Speedo Elite kickboard for about 1000 metres in the marina at Playa del Acequion. Working on improving balance and a relaxed kick stroke together with proper breathing. Followed that with a shower to warm up, a meat & nuts breakfast, and then on to the bike for a 56 km ride.

Day #34, Week #5: BRICK Day

ONE FOR AW... Vocal Boothers train colour coordinated. Mi amigo Andy Ward, Vocal Booth Weekender Top Dog, purchased a bike yesterday and started training for the big day. Must remind him about the party at his pad after the event... that's the reason we're doing this, isn't it?

BRICK training this morning, an open water 1400 metre swim up and down the marina twice (with snorkel and fins) followed by a 38k bike ride up the cycle path to the AP7 motorway. Tried out the new Orca 226 race suit under the wet suit and it was perfect. Changed gear for the bike ride this time around, will try out a proper transition next weekend. The new Oakley M2's are fantastico!

Dropped my iPhone from the bike and broke the screen for the second time in a fortnight. At this rate it'll be cheaper to buy a Garmin power meter.
