It's fallen to me to pick up the blog baton and tell you about day 3!
The first session of the day was our first open water swim of the year (apart from those of us who brave the icy waters of the lido in winter!). We jumped on our bikes for a 7km ride to the beautiful Pollenca beach and donned our wetsuits as we watched the sun rise over the calm, clear sea. After a bit of a warm-up on the beach we jumped into the sea (the water was lovely!) and did some sighting, drafting and swim start exercises before doing a few laps around the buoys. The Tri Camp boys gave us tea, coffee and Jaffa cakes following the swim and then we rode back in the early morning sunshine where a hearty brekkie was waiting for us.
Breakfast, shower and a power snooze later it was off to the track for some fantastic running technique coaching (watch our splits drop!) and a few sprints around the track - unused as we were to running in hot sunshine we were happy to plunge our feet into the pool to cool off when we got back. Yet another amazing meal followed and then we hit the bikes for our 60km ride, after slathering sun cream all over ourselves.
The circuit took us through some stunning Majorcan countryside and we had guided practice on long, pretty much uninterrupted roads riding together as a group in a chain gang, rotating the lead rider and other types of group riding. Back at the house we were given a much-needed stretching session and chill-out time before being fed yet more amazing food. Today's ride was pretty flat all the way which is just as well, given what follows tomorrow....
Here are some pics of day 3
Totally missing you all this year but I'm sure Lisa is doing me proud having taken my spot! ; ) Loving the pics.
The time to worry about Dr Sausage is after the bbq ....
Great updates, keep them coming!
