Training cancels swim

Mondays Gym session went well as well, i did some more muscle strength training like the chiropractor said, heavy weights with low reps of 6-8

I've thought of many excuses as to not to get up early and go swimming so i thought i would get up early and write my blog to show that i have got up early but due to a circuit training at the gym last night I'm not sure my swimming arms will be up to much, I'll need to look into swimming a bit later today if i can

I'd never done circuit training sessions before and you really feel great afterwards, okay you feel like it would be easier to curl up in a ball in the corner and not speak to anyone in a while, but once the ache goes you really feel that you've had a good workout

I've got confirmation that my new bike will be delivered today and my tri-suit as well should also be here today, it's like my own mini Christmas, you know without all the going to church and praying... do people still do this?

Happy bike and tri-suit xmas to me, i hope you all get your new bikes today as well

Weekend weekend!

Had a great weekend, didn't manage to get much training though

Went to the Gold Coast Festival in North Devon and saw the likes of Ben Howard, Ed Sheeran and Seasick Steve (my Photo with Seasick coming soon...) It was a great weekend

I did manage to get some competive cycling down though, about 3 mins worth overall, i tested my skill against the best that north devon had to offer... well the ones that weren't competing in the real sporting events such as the swimming for god-knows how long in the sea or surfing all day or beach volleyball but all the others that had come to listen to some awesome music and feast on the delights of Mexican or Hotdogs or 300 Medley bars, out of these people i came level first with the faster biker... on a virtual cycle route in the back of a VW van (Again photos will follow when i get time)

Yay, my first victory. Now i have the taste for it i'm psyched up for the triathlon now, i even got a prize for my meager vistory, an orange tri shirt with my name on the back, it wasn't the prize that the virtual cycle uys were handing out, Dani bought it for me for nearly dying after the cycle
