The primary focus for the next two months is training for NF100, with another tri in Sept along the way. So I tracked down my trusty NF hydration backpack and started planning trail runs during the late morning and early afternoon. Enjoying bike rides and swims too much to give them up, but some sacrifices would be necessary.
Tue: 44-lap easy swim with 6x50m pull
Wed: 36k bike ride in the early morning, and 10k easy run in evening.
Yesterday was a good training day. Starting to get comfortable with the aero position. Held it for most of the stretch down Changi Coastal Road. All the way on the big chain ring, through all the slopes and all. The toughest was the climb up Tanah Merah. Slowed to a crawl at the top. Thought I was going to topple over from lack of forward momentum, but I didn't. :)
Ran with the NF hydration backpack. Felt easy, able to maintain HR around 150 at close to 7:00 pace. Perhaps it was the cool evening breeze.
Note to myself: need to get a 2.0 liter waterbag (bladder). The old one is only 1.5 liter and leaking.
