Day #76, Race Week: Race Day Eve
THIS IS it. tomorrow we tri. Triathlon training is over and it's time to take the test. I struck to the 11 week training programme and apart from dropping the strength training at week 6, I trained every session, 5-6 days a week for the entire programme. I feel fit and ready, and all things considered my preparation has been as good as it gets.
Goal for finishing time:
Swim 750m: 17:30
Transition 1: 2.00
Bike 20k: 40:00
Transition 2; 1:00
Run 5k: 29:30
Total Time 1:30:00

Day #75, Race Week: Tapering
A MORNING 750m swim followed by an easy 12k bike ride in the evening. Keeping comfortable in the water and helping my muscles stay loose is the aim.... and I shaved my legs. Now I'm a proper cyclist.
Bike is booked in at Bikemania for a race check tomorrow at 11:00.
