Race Week -5.5 Catchup & Wrap

With my tail firmly between my legs after the disappointing performance last night it was time to have a look at things and address my training priorities.

I had been tinkering with my diet and training purposes. I was brought to ground very quickly last night on account of these factors and woke to the realisation this morning that I need to focus on the marathon first. I will explain what I'd been up to in another post.

For now, on with the week.

Caroline Kearney Triathlon (13th August)

It was another brutal night lacking in sleep that led to me rising at 5.30am to prepare breakfast and to pull myself together in some form of order for racing today.

2XU wetsuit trial

Wednesday evening saw us again meeting at the pool at the Kingfisher Club in Renmore.

V:2 from 2XU

My brand new V:2 wetsuit only arrived in the courier van during the day so I was very eager to try it out  in comparison to my current Orca Alpha which is almost 3 years old now. In fact I had bought the initial release of the V:1 wetsuit (V = Velocity) in the spring of 2008 having been present at the prelaunch presentation of the wetsuit by (then) sales rep Mike Trees (now Managing Director) of TCL. I had spotted the suit at the ITU Worlds in Hamburg September 2007 where it was being launched into Europe.
