Annoyance

Well training is going pretty well, the whole swim, cycle, run thing is coming together quite nicely. Until this morning that was, first up it was 45min in the pool working on technique—including the oh so important not using your legs, no seriously, triathlon swimmers don't swim with their legs. The swim practice went really well, and I'm confident come race day I'll fly through the swim without any difficultly. And if I say that often enough I'm sure it'll come true, lol.

So a quick shower and onto the bike, first time out in my new Orca cycling gear too. A few hills and I get to the point roughly furthest from my apartment, and what do I hear?! Well I wasn't too sure, since it was the first time I'd heard it but unsurprisingly it sounded exactly like a flat tyre!! arrrgggh... yes I probably should of had a tyre repair kit with me but I didn't. So my good training session and early start at the office this morning went completely out the window!

Putting all that behind me, tomorrow morning I'm heading across to watch the Tauranga Half Ironman. It'll be good to see how people who know what they're doing do it, lol. Should be interesting... if I get motived I might blog some photos from it here tomorrow arvo.
