Having qualified for the European Long Distance Championship in Vitoria Gasteiz I took part in the Windsor Triathlon to get back in the swing of racing and get a bit of speed in my legs before going to Spain. In the build up to the race I have been doing alternate weekly cycles of 55km and 110km. I have begun my swim coaching at Harpers and have already noticed improvements. I was nervous about this at first but am really enjoying my swim training. My run has been ticking over but I am very pleased with my nutrition strategy which will be put to the test in the heat of Spain.
I had a great time racing at Windsor hitting my targets and getting round comfortably in just over 2hrs 30mins. My first triathlon was at Windsor in 2008 so it was interesting to see just how much faster I could get round the course. Job done and now the nervous wait before the European LD Championship on the 26th where I will get to wear the GB kit and hopefully will not embarass myself!
