\"Phew\"So that’s the Kinghorn-Burntisland loop<\/a> done. And, yes, it took me twice as long as it should have done, but the outward leg was uphill into a 30mph wind gusting to 40mph, and by gods I could feel it. Freezing rain to boot.<\/p>\n

The weather really isn’t co-operating with my training schedule.<\/p>\n

The good news as far as I’m concerned is that I don’t feel like I’d struggle to do a run now. I was due to do a bike-run brick today but the weather is nasty. It’s supposed to be worse tomorrow, but there’s a lull predicted first thing in the morning, so I’ll see if I can take advantage of that.<\/p>\n

As I can do 1200m in the pool without any trouble, at a consistent 9mins\/400m, still feeling fresh, I reckon I should probably manage to get round this tri course, even with its 1:10 climb. Put a few more runs in on Fingal before I strip off the salad to make him race fit — that’s right. I’m training on Fingal in full touring mode, so when I come to race day he’ll weigh half as much as he does now. Cunning. I think the technical term is hypergravity training<\/i>, but that’s a complicated name for the simple technique of riding a bike that’s heavier than the one you plan racing.<\/p>\n

Today was not a good day to find out his seat post has stuck again. I shall have to take him along to Mum and Dad’s tomorrow, where our tools are, dump half a gallon of WD40 round the clamp and see if I can unstick it. I need to drop 5mm to take into account the different pedals (don’t want to be hobbling through transition on Look cleats so I’ve put the Time ATACs on there). If I can’t unstick it all is not lost: my tri suit has much thinner padding anyway, and if the weather’s good I’ll be taking Peregrine.<\/p>\n

He’s a demon ascender and those Pavé Veloflex stick like gecko feet.<\/p>\n

Brrr. Cold now. The heating doesn’t come on for another three quarters of an hour.<\/p>\n

And can someone tell me how I got the idea into my head that I need to get my weight below 60kg?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
