Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the support so far. All the messages and donations have been incredible.
I’m settling into the weekly training routine and the adrenaline is starting to wear off from the excitement of signing up. Despite the end of year fatigue creeping in, I’m focusing on each training day at a time and plodding on.
Here’s a wee update on the three disciplines after nearly finishing my first 6 week training block:
Swim - Given I have a strong swimming background I have been hugely humbled returning to the pool after a four year hiatus. I can’t say I’ve missed staring at that black line at the bottom of the pool but each session is starting to feel more like that familiar glide through the water from the past. Despite the early starts to swim the body is always grateful afterwards.
Bike - For someone is very much a recreational trail rider the cycling is my weakest discipline. But non the less I’m putting in the time and getting very familiar with rolling the streets of Kapiti. Tips for sorting out a sore neck and bum are welcome.
Run - The part I enjoy most and always happy to head out for a plod. Definitely more practice is needed running off the bike and on sore legs.
Stay tuned for the next update 🫶
Thanks,
Kristin
