Week Commencing 15th Oct 2007

[kenlaidlaw]

Well first week of the twelve weeks leading into NYD tri. This week there will be a run and the swim theory gearing up to NYD with a bike session added next week so if you don't have lights, now would be a good week to go get them. These are sessions that I think will help with NYD, but I am not a coach. I'll try to vary them to make them interesting too.

As usual if your doing any sessions and want some company just post below.

Won't make any sessions this week (including the weekend) because I'm stuffed with the cold & I'm going to make a concious effort of getting rid of it this time!

Oh, and I'm backshift & weekend on and couldn't make them anyway!

I'm back from my business trip to the US, overdosed on steak and feeling fat(ter), but looking forward to getting into some training again.

I'm planning on coming to the swim sessions on Wed., so if anyone sees a confused baldy fat guy wandering around the car park at NU, stop me and point me in the right direction.

Ken.

I've been compiling a list of my favorite cycle routes in and around Perthshire. The list contains 20 routes, ranging from 20 - 100 miles of varying degrees of difficulty.

Once I've finished my list I'll send you a copy for the website.

Cheers,

Alec.

Remember when we were last out on the bike we talked about developing an Ironman training programme? You said you had started a template.

Any chance of a copy? Maybe we could chat about it over a pint....juice not beer!

Cheers,

Alec.

Alec,
Do you want to pop round to the house at some point and bring the bike routes too? Feel free to bring Jules and little monsters too of course:)

Again the weekend cycles are advertised as PM. I'll assume that they should be AM?? The same for next weeks sessions to??
