Training Program - 93 pages long

Hi,
Having spoken to Coach Crealy last week about the need to put together a training program to get my self ready for the coming months. She requests that I send her a list of all my planned events along with a timetable of when I am able to train.. Then I get to wait nervously while she works on the perfect program for her little perfectionist. Then it arrives... all 93 pages of it... and added to the pain is that the actual program section is in miles and yards so I had to do the conversions.. 93 pages...

While having a look at my 93 page program, the have-a-go program for the womens tri arrives.. and as I have paid the fee for the girls and I to do this program I am now thinking of how to incorporate it into the one Sarah has sent through.. Now if that is not enough, Gem has swim squad twice a week and both girls have Trystars (Triathlon for kids) training Friday afternoons.
Boy life is getting a)very busy and if I am not careful b) very confusing. So I have the calender off the wall. Pieces of paper all over the desk trying to combine programs and list events and where everyone has to be on each day... I need a much bigger calender.

I head to bed for a much needed early night and Stella and me hit the road for a 20km ride this morning, again freezing the wazoo out of myself until about 15 mins in.. then I notice the sun is out, birds are chirping.. and I am flying along.. I did my 20km in around 45 mins so very happy with that..

Going for a short 3.7km run with the girls this afternoon to get into the swing of things for the City 2 Surf on Sunday. I love my life.

A happy little note - Aaron is recovering nicely from his hernia operation. He is going crazy from having to rest and relax and do nothing but he is doing really well. He plans to be the official team photographer for us on Sunday.

  1. Wow, I am tired just reading this. I am doing an hour a day at the gym and "Lenny" exercise during the day. Sounds a bit easier than your training, but then again my "high" is the 28th.
    Looking forward to running with my girls,

    love

  2. The have a go program sounds interesting. Is that something extra you can opt for when you register for the triathalon or is that something they give to everybody when they sign up?
