Not only a training week...

Another great week and weekend for the club! Tuesday we had the regular club swim session at Faversham Swimming Pool where we focussed on kicking and body position. Then Wednesday was the regular club running session which was set aside for hill repeats to focus on proper form, driving power from the correct muscles and a little increased intensity. Thursday was the beginners run session which saw the runners get to the half way point and onwards to their 5km challenge at the end. Then Friday was back in the pool again for the beginners swim course who are all doing really great.
If that wasn't enough, after a few recent cancellations, we managed to get out on a small but perfectly formed social ride over to The Bow Window in Lenham. A great ride and a great stop. We took the route up over the downs so it was steady climbing on the way there which was rewarded by some great easy downhill and sunshine on the way back.
To finish it off it was a Sunday morning of transition training and basic bike maintenance. We ran through set up of the transition area, some of the rules and regulations, some hints and tips for getting in and out of transition efficiently and a few other things. We also covered basic bike checks (brakes, gears, frame etc) and did some much needed puncture practice which is surprisingly informative as it turns out no matter how many punctures you've had there's always another cheat to learn.
Now... it's time to relax before doing it again next week!
