Baseline Baseline!

Well week 2 has been a little shock to the system with 2 'nasties' thrown in to the mix! Nasty number 1 was a 1500m swim timetrial and nasty number 2 was a 25km cycle timetrial! All in all the system got a very rude awakening this week as I attempted to rally the go fast fibres and record something semi decent for the baseline tests!

I was lucky enough to score a lane to myself for the swim timetrial at my local haunt that is Mount Albert aquatic centre so on the plus side I wasn't having to navigate around social swimmers! The cycle timetrial was on the indoor cateye trainers and my tactic for the baseline was simply survive to the end without blowing up! Mission accomplished....I'm still here to tell the tale! My power was, as anticipated, down on the Pre Ironman recordings and I was just under a minute slower but all in all I was pretty pleased with how they both went!

I've had a sore foot again since last week and finally dragged myself to see Deno my physio for a look at it! Looks like it is a combination of grumpy tendons and a grumpy toe joint so I was one very relived possum that it wasn't a stress fracture......the prospect of another injury riddled few months was not very appealing! Deno thinks I should be as good as new in a few weeks so fingers crossed it all goes to plan!!
