Monday
Activity: run
Distance: 2.5km
Time: 25min
Thursday
Activity: climb
Yeah, a bit slack about logging the run on Monday. It wasn't the best one, so I wanted to put it behind me. The mornings are dark, so I haven't been cycling, but I do need to get back into it. The afternoons/evenings have been warm, so running after work feels kind of sluggish.
Climbing tonight felt really good, I completed a 15 & a 16, tried a 17 but didn't quite succeed. I got a couple of sequences, but had to use some other holds in between. We think we're plateauing a bit - possibly we need a jolt, like an intensive course or a change of location (thinking the Roxx).

Go girls!
Activity: rock climbing
So only 2 climbs each tonight, but we did all complete 1 long & 1 short climb. Even if my long one was only a grade 12 (my old favourite red one, which has been changed about & naturally now has a tricky bit about 3/4 of the way up). With the cramp still in my legs from yesterday's running, I'm feeling it all over now. Funny how aches & pains can feel good.

Change as good as a holiday
Activity: run
Distance: 3km
Time: 25min
I tried running barefoot for the last 1km or so, it felt pretty good but the logistics of dodging acorns and crossing a busy, glass-strewn road to get to & from the park kinda takes the shine off. I know there's "transitional" footwear, but several training/technique advice websites recommend against it, at least at first.
Otherwise, the usual. Currently able to comfortably do about 5 minutes without stopping for a walk, but with about 4 1/2 weeks until the triathlon, there's time to improve that.

Slacker
Saturday & Sunday
Activity: cycling
Distance: 27.5km
Time: 1hr 10min
I managed to lose my stuff of my bike on the 20km ride on Saturday, but got it all back. The bike's currently in the shop, getting a new chain & rear sprocket cassette. Guess I've done a fair distance on it, that's OK!
Climbing on Monday was good, I arrived late but managed a couple of grade 15-16 climbs. Otherwise I've been pretty slack with the tri training. It's week 2 & I'm yet to start running.
