The hard work is starting to show
After a tough week of training in Lanzarote (see previous post below) I am really starting to see the benefits of the hard training that I have been putting in over the last few months.
I competed in a Sprint Distance Triathlon at Club La Santa on the Wednesday of the training camp, and for the first time, I wasn’t anywhere near the back of the field coming out of the water. I was pretty strong on the bike, and then kept a nice pace in the run. I ended up finishing about 12th in the Men - 15th overall. MUCH further up than I used to be!
What do I need to work on?
* Running off the bike - PJ has recruited me to his Sunday morning run sessions.
* Swim - still needs more work to get up towards the pointy end of the field.
* Bike - Need to get my climbing legs back. Need to continue to work on longer sustained effort sessions.
Here are a few photos of me in action in Lanzarote:

A big huge THANKS to Dean at TCR in Melbourne, Australia for sending me some of his awesome gear. It was brilliant to wear, and many compliments were received regarding how great it looked. Thanks Mate!
