All the preparation I can do

4 and a half weeks to go till the World Duathlon Champs and I would love to say I'm ramping up the final phase of my training before the big day...but unfortunately I'm resting my knee and have strict instructions from my physio at Athlete Matters not to train for another week.

 So I've been focusing on preparing in other ways. I've got my flights to Ottawa booked and my kit all printed up ready to go. This year I'm being supported on my sporting journey by 2 fantastic companies that I'm sure we'll get to know a lot more about as they grow over the coming years - hopefully my performances will improve with theirs! Talent Backer and 9 Bar are both proudly displayed on my brand spanking new GB tri suit, and on my normal trisuit as well.

I've also got my non-GB kit printed up as well. I had hoped to be wearing this for the British Triathlon Champs in Liverpool this weekend, but a poorly timed injury has put paid to that plan. I've already raced in my lovely 2XU Ladies Comp Trisuit and can't wait to wear it again.It's got the perfect amount of padding - comfortable for a long bike ride, but not restrictive on the run at all - which is very important for me! I went for a smart black, but they also do some funkier colours - you can check out the selection available from Wiggle here
Now I just need to get over this injury and get racing...and possibly try not to eat too many 9 Bars while I'm not training!
