Sunday 14/07/18
Kilkenny Sprint Triathlon
This will be short and sweet as this triathlon didn't really amount to much for me. Target was to complete it in under 1 hour 20 minutes. Thought that this would be possible. When it suddenly started spilling rain about one hour before the start, i was very concerned. The roads hadn't encountered a drop of rain in bout a month and now suddenly they were soaked. Had immediate concern for the bike. A number of roundabouts on the course and a couple of very sharp turns.
Swim
Anyway, swim was easy enough, all downstream. I started in wave 4. My goal was to finish in about 14 minutes. This is normally a couple of minutes faster than normal for me, but with the easier course i thought this was possible.
Poor start, meant a number of faster swimmers and some slower ones powered passed me. Got knocked around a little and took me a while to settle. Eventually settled into a rhythm and towards the last 200 meters, i started to pass some swimmers myself. Finished slightly outside my target time, but wasn't too disappointed with it.
Time = 14.30
Place = 110/299
T1
A very long distance to travel in transition, definitely the longest one ive ever faced. Lots of running from the river to transition. Tried to do this as quickly as possible and not waste time trying to take off my suit whilst running to transition. Overall ok with this, not brilliant but pretty solid.
Time = 4.34
Place = 50/299
Bike
Plan was to finish in about 36 minutes, but this is where it all came to an end. Managed to negotiate the first three roundabouts without much hassle, but my race came to an end exiting the fourth roundabout whereby my front wheel slid and down i came. Slid along with the bike a fair few meters. A few cuts and bruises on the legs, back and arms but nothing too serious. Managed to remount the bike and carry on fairly slowly it has to be said.
About three kilometers later my bike locked up. Part of my derailleur fell off on the ground, the rest of the derailleur was caught in between the spokes.
Was unable to pedal nearly came down again. Managed to get my feet out to prevent myself from falling. Steward told me i was the eleventh person to fall at that particular roundabout which was like a bottle after the heavy rain.
Walked the three kilometers back to Kilkenny Castle where my family were waiting for me.
Bit disappointed with how it went, but more concerned with my bike and glasses both of which are damaged and will cost some to repair.
Anyway, onwards and upwards, better luck next time.0 -
Monday 16/07/18
Bike - Turbo (1 Hour - 'Threshold'). Included 2 x 15 minutes in Upper Zone 4.
As my road bike is damaged, had to make do with the turbo today. Dropped my bike into shop to get fixed. Think it will take a couple of weeks to get back. Needs new chain, derailler and a new dropout which i will need to drive to Dublin to collect and bring back to bike mechanic. Decided to do a harder session on the bike today due to not having much of a run out during the triathlon.

Wednesday 18/07/18
Bike - Turbo ( 1 Hour 'VO2 Max') Included 4 x 4 minutes in Zone 5 with 6 minute recoveries between reps. Found it tough as legs not fully recovered from threshold session on Monday, however still hit the required zones.
Thursday 19/07/18
Run - 9.66km. Included 3 x 1km reps at (3.52, 3.53, 3.52) with 4 minutes jog recovery in between. Managed to get through this, but look to have damaged my right groin/abjuctor area. Noticed after i fell off the bike last Sunday that i tweaked a muscle in the Abductor area. Didn't give it much thought as i hardly noticed it much all week. But today after i completed the speed work, i was in real pain in this area. Managed to get home ok with a slow jog. But could barely walk all evening in work.
Have taken anti inflammataries over the weekend to get me through a family mini holiday in Killarney as would have struggled to walk around without them.
Looks like i will need to take a few days/week off to recover and may have to make a visit to a physio to get it looked at.
First though, need to get my bike sorted, wetsuit repaired and get new cycling glasses as well this week.
Could do with a bit of luck on the training front about now.0 -
Took 10 days off training due to groin injury initially caused by falling off the bike in Kilkenny Triathlon and then made worse by running intervals on it. Some rest, visit to a physio for dry needling seems to have gave me some improvement. Enough to get back training, just to take the running a little easier than normally planned.
Monday 30/07/18
Bike - Road - 1.20 hours, 'Threshold'. Included 2 x 20 minutes in Upper Zone 4 heart rate. Went well, if a little slower than i'd like.

Early bank holiday monday morning swim with 3 others in the river. Absolutely loved this. Very few people around and really peaceful around.

Worlds End Triathlon
Decided in the last few days to complete one more sprint before the year end, particularly after my disastrous DNF in Kilkenny.
Had completed this event last year, so was hoping for a similiar time on the same course. Last year finished in 1.18.59, so something close id be ok with.
Swim
Started off the swim fine and was going ok. Last year i finished in 16.13 so was hoping maybe id get under the 16 minutes this year. At about half way, ran into trouble. For some reason i started having trouble breathing. I seemed to be holding my breath under the water and not breathing out. Was then breathing out when i should have been taking my next breath, so this led to some panicking and i stopped for a few seconds to relax a little. Started back slowly and then swim went fine for the remainder. Bit slower than last year, lost a number of seconds with my breathing difficulties. Slightly disappointed.
Time = 16.29
Place = 71/158
T1
--
Not great, slower than last years. Had trouble taking off the wetsuit and also slow putting on the cycling shoes. Lost time here. Will have to work on these during the winter.
Time = 2.11
Place = 81/158
Bike
Have felt my bike had improved since last year, so was hoping for a better result here. Road was dry, some technical bits in the first 2 kilometers slow you down. Also after about 5k, three of us got held up by a tractor. i lost about 20 seconds here, before the tractor turned off, but the couple of lads in front of me lost more time here and weren't too happy about it.
Rest of the bike ride went ok. About three guys passed me on the cycle and i must have passed about 30- 40 people.
Was nearly a minute quicker than last year, so happy with this.
Time = 37.19
Place = 48/158
T2
---
Another poor transition, could not find my gear, a bit confused where i was located, meant i lost about 30 seconds here. Transitions for me need some work.
Time = 1.29
Place = 108/158
Run
----
Runner has normally being my best event, but i have noticed that i have slowed this year, even though i have been happy enough with my training. Last year ran this in 21.26, but expected a slower time this year.
I struggled for the first 2.5k which had a nice bit of uphill. Three runners passed me and i passed a number of others, but my pace was way off.
Course flattened out after this and felt better. Finished the last 2.5k a lot better. As expected slower than last year, but not as bad as it could have been.
Time = 22.23
Place = 39/158
Overall Time = 1.19.53
Overall Place = 52/158
So, overall, happy enough. About 54 seconds down on last year, mainly being affected by my poor transitions and slower run. Have a couple of things to work on over the winter.

Bike - Western Greenway (Wesport - Achill Sound - 42K)
Had planned to do this with the family. So five of us went on a really beautiful sunny day. Tough going with myself and the wife pulling a kiddies trailer each. Stopped off twice on the route for grub and took our time. Took about 6 hours in total taking everything into account. This was a bucket list item, we always spoke about doing. Beautiful day, but found it tough dragging the trailers.0 -

Bike - 10 Mile TT.
Club hosted a 10 mile TT this evening. Have never completed one, so decided to enter.
Bit of a wake up call for me here, standard was very high. I completed the 10 mile in 29.43 which was around the time i expected. Unfortunately, this was way slower than most of my club mates. i finished 24th of 40 competitors and 22nd out of 26 males. Way off the pace of my club mates and a little frightening the difference in my time compared to the top guys.

Saturday 08/09/18
Hardman Olympic Triathlon
Long way to travel for this but i wanted to get one last Olympic distance Triathlon completed before the end of the year. Had no real time goals, just basically wanted to complete the course in a decent time, one that id be happy with.
Swim
Was in a lake beside the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. Was aiming for a time around the 35 minute mark, which would be a little slower than both my other Olympic distance attempts which were in rivers. Struggled a little until the first buoy, problems with my breathing, hitting off other swimmers and having to check myself. After about 500 meters things settled down and the rest went pretty fine for me. Passed a few between 500 - 1000 mark. Lost my way a little in the last 500 meters. Bit of a walk required into the shoreline as the water was very shallow which delayed time getting out of the water.
Time = 34.13
Place = 51/111
T1
---
Transition didnt seem like it went well for me. Something that has been poor for me this year. Need to look at this over the winter.
Time = 2.37
Place = 55/111
Bike
----
Started off slowly on the bike at first, just wanted to ease into it and warm up a little. After a couple of kilometers, started to push a little and pass a few people out. A couple of guys passed me in the first half of the bike. At about half way, about five of us were fairly close together, trying to pass each other out. This went on for about 15 kilometers before a few of the stronger guys moved away leaving me behind. Overall happy enough with the bike, road was very wet and i was very slow and apprehensive going around the two roundabouts on the course. Course was short, about 38.5 kilometers, hence the faster time.
Time = 1.10.16
Place = 27/111
T2
---
As usual and expected, this was slow. Didnt feel as bad as the first transition, but a combination of guys cycling in the running shoes and others having their cycling shoes on their pedals, means that i tend to find myself back in the field for this transition.
Time = 2.04
Place = 84/111
Run
----
Started off the run well. My times in the last two olympic distances were 49 & 50 minutes. Was hoping to beat these times and the course was very flat and well set up for a quicker time. Was really happy how i felt during the run. One guy passed me and i passed about six others. At about 8 kilometer mark, whilst on a pace for 47 minutes and feeling good, i took a wrong turn and ended up down the road for about 4 minutes before i realised my mistake. Ran back to find the correct route and finished the run. Finished in 55 minutes, 8 minutes slower than the pace i was scheduled for.
Initally i was sick as i lost a lot of time and places due to this mistake. If i had ran the correct route i would have finished about 40 places higher on the run, close to the top 30 people.
Time = 55.10
Place = 74/111
Overall Time = 2.44.23
Overall Place = 51/111
My poorest overall place in a while, due to 8 minutes lost by taking wrong turn on the run. Would have finished in 2.36 minutes in 30th place overall only for this mistake. Not going to beat myself up over it, my main goal for the weekend was to complete another Olympic with a decent enough swim/bike/run. Happy with this.
Finished Triathlons for the year now, back to training and see can i get some improvements for next year, where the targets will be longer stuff.0 -

Again, after work. Body very tired after Olympic Triathlon at the weekend. Unable to get my heart rate into the upper Threshold zone as was the plan. Instead, just down 2 x 15 minutes at 60rpm in the 'Big Ring'. Trying to build some strength into the legs for the bike.

First time to complete this parkrun in three years, since my last Marathon in October 2015. Was expecting a huge falloff in times as havent raced a 5k/10k apart from during triathlon's in those intervening years. Started off conservately and just ran by feel whilst keeping an eye on the watch to make sure i wasn't overdoing it.
Went well. Finished in 21.02 which was only about 30 seconds off my times three years ago. So happy out with that. Finished 11th from 122.

Why not get your log moved to the Tri forum? I dip in and out of your log but can offer little in the way of advice to the training you do. Am sure you would get input here over on the Darkside!!!!0

Have been considering that. Initially my plan was to do a couple of triathlon's and move back to solely running. But due to injury, that hasn't happened. Might consider moving over. Very few updated logs over there, and those who do are very experienced guys (way above my league). Something to think about.0 -

Parkrun 5k
Wanted to try another Parkrun. Two months since i last completed one, and with the speed work that ive been doing lately, wanted to see if i could get an improvement. Went ok, overall and happy enough with it. Started off a little quick and suffered a little after that, but managed to hold on pretty well. Completed it in 20.38 which was 24 seconds improvement on 8 weeks previously. The route is tough with three steepish hills. Think i could go sub 20 mins on a flat course.

No running this week, as it looks like my groin injury of 2015/2016 has returned. Have an MRI next week in Santry Sports Surgery Clinic to check this but all the signs seem to point to this. If this is the case, then running is off the agenda for a fair few months. Fingers crossed, its not as bad as it looks.0 -

Santry Sports Surgery Clinic - Had MRI on sore groin area. Met with Consultant. Looks like the injury i carried for 2.5 years is back. However, not as bad as before and has assigned me a Rehab/ S&C specialist to work with. Met with him and has assigned me rehab work to do a few times per week. Back to SSC in two weeks time to meet him and access progress.
No running for another three weeks at least.

Groin pain is back after two runs last week. After resting for 5.5 weeks and slowly building the training load, its very disheartening for me to have it back again. Have another appointment made with consultant in Santry to talk to him about this. Looks like my plans of completing Ironman Barcelona in October are gone. Have dealt with this injury before and took me 2 years to fully recover. Gutted.0 -

That was it for the rest of the week. Travelled up to Santry Sports Clinic on Wednesday afternoon to get a Steriod Injection into my Pubic Symphsis. This is due to the long standing groin injury i have which restricts my running to 45 mins duration. I've been working with Consultant and Head of Rehab up there for a long time now, and time has come to try something else. Will see how it goes.
Advised to take the rest of the week off from training. Back next Monday.0 -
