The Twigster is BACK IN FORM!

Monday was an awesome workout :) I worked a full day and had a meeting and didn't make it to the gym until 5:15.....but then I managed to get it together and do the entire distances for the Upper Hutt Triathlon (I did the 300mtrs for the swim as an extra Treadmill Run.....but the swim is my best discipline anyway...so I am not worried about practicing that at the same time) and I go for at least two swims a week. So I managed to do 4.3kms on the treadmill with an incline to simulate uneven terrain, and I ran intervals of this and then walked at 6km p.h for the rest of it. Then I did the entire 18kms on the Stationary cycle (ouchy on the ass!) The whole lot took me bloody ages - I hope they still have Marshalls out and have not pulled down the finish line by the time I finish on the actual event day! So 1 Hour 47 this time....but from experience I can shave at least 20mins off the cycle when on a real road bike, as 10km on the exercycle takes me 28 mins, but out in the real world that usually takes me under 20 minutes. So watch this space... If you would like to really make this journey beneficial for others as well.....please visit my Fundraising Page and sponsor my series of triathlons.
