IRONMAN AUSTRIA FINISH PIC

I see in my line of work athletes not giving long distance races the respect they deserve. Whether it is a marathon, big swim, long bike challenge or long distance triathlon, I see athletes suddenly panicking a couple of weeks before their race, because they have not done the training and then doing a long swim, bike or run without any build up to it. The stress and fatigue this places on the body is enormous and causes the body to take much longer to recover than it would if distance and volume had been progressed gradually. Then there is the risk of injury, especially with running, as due to it being weight bearing, it is so much harder on the body.

Loving riding with my buddy @vanessaelliottpt was quite a hilly ride, seemed either up or down but hills make you stronger. Except today towards the end my arthritic hip decided to give me jip (probably due to sprinting with & without fins in swim session yesterday) but to the point where it was catching & causing a shock of pain which made me scream & then only being able to push max 17% power & my poor left leg was having to do the work!!

Decided to blow up the paddleboard & get on it after my swim. Was lovely, so peacefull floating on the river, you see it in a different way. A lovely way to spend the morning, swimming then paddleboarding 😊

I did a solo river swim this morning as I couldn't find anyone available to swim with. I wore my bright pink hat & had an orange tow float with my phone in it (as a drybag as well) so I could be seen. I also marked my entry/exit into the water with another blown up tow float so I could see when I was swimming where to get out (and I was really thankful I did that).

I had a week's holiday back in August 2019 where I wanted to have a go at surfing, by the last day I managed to stand up 🥳 I couldn't of asked for a better week, the weather was glorious & the surf was awesome!

Love my rides with my bestest buddy @vanessaelliottpt we have such fun talking about everything & anything, getting to see the beautiful countryside, like these poppies, eating amazing cake, like this one at @waterfrontcafebenson

Mondays climbing session. This had some hard moves for a 6a, managed to get past them but struggled on the white route afterwards to get past a specific move 6a+ I was just too short & not flexible enough, my hands kept pinging off the crimp holds everytime I went to try the move. Had to skip past that move & continue the rest of the climb 😬 #wallclimbing #climbing #thisgirlcan

Another awesome WOW women in Open Water session this morning, coaching with @merlintriathloncoaching
