Seven weeks until my first triathlon of the season… I think I’ve been in a bit of denial up until today!  Three workouts a week has seen me through the winter but I’m now starting to gear myself up for some more intense training.  I’ve been managing around two runs and one swim a week, this hasn’t been hard as I really enjoy both.  Cycling is a whole different thing – it’s my least favourite of the three disciplines, yet such an important element of the whole event!

I joined a spinning class last week and will continue to go once a week, it’s a brilliant workout – so hard on my legs that I sometimes think I’ll keel over in the middle of a ‘hill climb’, but surely it can only help to build those leg muscles up for the big event?
