Post-tri 2

I can sum up the rest of my season quite quickly...shattered!

Post Speedy Beaver I was shattered and it took me a few days to recover. After falling off my bike I decided to focus on something I really enjoy and always have...track races! It's been 4 years since I competed on the track and I enjoy training for 800m and 1500m more than anything else! Between May and August I made a few appearances in league races for my club, Telford AC, as well as a few Trafford open meetings. Unfortunately the training for track and triathlon is quite different - this is definitely going to be a challenge next year! Come the beginning of August I'd been swimming and cycling regularly and really enjoying it, as well as all my track training. I decided that if I let training hard there was a chance I could qualify for the European Sprint Triathlon Championships. It wad a pretty small chance, but I am pretty determined so decided to at least try. As a personal goal, representing GB would be a huge achievement and a good way to focus my training! The next qualification event was Newbiggen up in Newcastle in September. I entered, and entered Desford as a warm up event in August and focused my training towards triathlons, not track races!
