Season to date
Sandypoint half marathon - broke the 100 minute mark
Melbourne Marathon - 17 minute personal best time
Shepparton Challenge - 8th fastest bike time in my age group, broke the 5 hour mark
Morningtom Long course - solid ride and then ran out the final leg (last year I had to walk the hills)
Everything was going to plan.
This week I had my next catch up with my dietician. I see Margaret about once a month to touch base and ensure my body composition changes are on track with my race results and goals. It had been a couple of weeks since my last event so recovery had been the order of the day, and it showed on the sscles! A gain of 3kg and the subsequent skinfolds tests proved the increase was not due to muscle mass. Seems I had spent a little too much effort taking it easy whilst continuing to consume my normal peak training nutrition intake (and probably more if I'm honest)
Whoops
With that wakeup call and a revised eating plan (some of the sessions catered for were actually not in my training program) I am refocused and ready to roll!
Besides, in the morning, "Hell Week" begins
I guess I'll call my backward step a lead in to a running start
