17 day, 16 days to go

Today it was a combo. I realized that the recovery takes a bit longer than I thought. Doing one combo each week was not working for me, noticed that the third week in a row and have had one week’s rest from combo.

• Swimming 400 m

When I got to the pool the first three lanes was occupied by kids who had swimming school. The goal today was to crawl 2×25 m. Finally I got a lane for myself. After 100 m I crawled 25 m, oh gosh it really takes the life out of me, Very breathless. And then I did that twice.

The time today was around 11 min, the crawling might have slowed me down.

Swimming also feels in my neck afterwards. The swim goggles must fit more closely, got fog inside today. I had some pain in my right knee afterwards. I might have to stretch before I start swim.

Then it was time to bike to the gym and finish the last two disciplines: biking and running

Started with 20k biking, started with an incline of 5 and then increased it to 8. Three times I increased the incline to 10 and stood up for 1k

After 2k it did not look very promising

But after 7k I must have speeded it up a bit

At 10k

After 17k and the last incline of 10 and the familiar dyspnea

The total time today was 50.39 which is the fastest time so far 🙂

Then I went to the treadmill where it was time for 5k running in a comfortable pace. Started with 6min/k for 4.5k and then decided to speed it up the last 500m to 5 min/k. Total time today was 29.42 min
