Swim

2km on Ironman course

Run

12km easy pace with 10 x 60sec 10km pace efforts

Apologies for not writing for a while. I have also just worked out how to put breaks in!

This was a really tough day. I was very asymmetrical, the right leg crossing over the midline and groin pain! I'm not sure what the origin of this is but I was feeling pretty bad about it. The thought having this going on race day is very anxiety provoking - it's OK for 10km but I think something would painfully protest during 42.2km. I will have a think about what to do.

The swim on the other hand was fantastic. I tried the swim skin on for the first time - this was good. I'm not sure whether it made me any faster, Ella still zoomed off. I hope the conditions are like this on race day, flat and calm. The water temperature couldn't be any better either.

The biggest shock was seeing a massive ball of fish below us. The size of a double decker bus. My first reaction was that must mean there could be a shark around - ridiculous I know.
