Lancaster Sprint Tri

Just got back home after the race - chuffed with 1:19:07 by my watch. Waiting for the official results to get emailled in before I write up a race report. 20 mins cut from my PB :-).

Running Milestones

Went out last night and ran 12.5 km (7.76 miles). This is my longest run ever - was not feeling that great but still managed to knock it out slowly. It took 1hr20 ish, at under 6 min/km.

The other effect of last nights run was to take me over 100 running miles in 2008. Thats quite possibly more than I have run before in my life! This running lark seems to be sticking, so if I can get back to eating right I will shift the remaining weight.

Missed my ride to work today again - looked out of the window at the trees blowing around and failed to summon any motivation :-(.

Sport Relief Liverpool

Did the 3 mile sport relief today in Liverpool. I have been training since January for this - on the C25k plan. I ran with a couple of mates in 26:26 which is well under my target of 30 mins. The pace at the start was slow, dodging runners, walkers and a few prams and wheel chairs. By lap 2, a lot of people had done a mile and finished, leaving us lots more space.

Overall, pretty well orgainised and run, with just a few over narrow sections causing congestion. Pretty chuffed I did it!

Next target is a 10K in June, and a sprint distance triathlon in April / May, depending whats on. I aim to do a Half Ironman and the Helvellyn Tri at the end of summer, but thats for another post!
