I thought I would check in to confirm I finally have committed to a proper event (my 'A' race), scheduled for 17th September 2023 - As Keen As Mustard Bewl Water Swimrun.
It is a solo SwimRun - in total 21km, broken down as follows:
Run 1 175m; Swim 1 850m
Run 2 600m; Swim 2 400m
Run 3 300m; Swim 3 400m
Run 4 2000m; Swim 4 350m
Run 5 900m; Swim 5 300m
Run 6 850m; Swim 6 270m
Run 7 7200m; Swim 7 1000m
Run 8 4000m; Swim 8 250m
Run 9 20m; Swim 9 600m
Run 10 800m
That is 18 transitions - lots's of fun and games!
I am yet to prepare a detailed training plan (6 months to play with) but I need to include the following (high level):
- Get back to 6 hours+ weekly swim and run training (some cycling for cross-training)
- Lose 4-5 kg of weight, happy to be around 80kg(ish) - ideally just in the 70's
- In addition to some pool swimming (once a week - Christ's Hospital + Triangle) I expect to use lake + sea for swim/run transitions and working out best combination of equipment (paddles + pull buoy)
- Important to include some strength traning - resistance (TRX) and weights - aim for 2-3 short sessions a week
I am hoping that this will encourage me to also book in some 'B' races - possibly some Club triathlon events and may be a half-marathon (trail and/or Bath).
There is work to be done!!
