Paddy's Race Reports - Tri Sprots, Galway to North Tipp Sprint Triathlon

 

The last month has been great!!! Well the season so far is going well and I feel the training I have done is justifying the results I am getting. You spend the whole winter doing long (sometimes easy some times hard) training. In the pool 5 days a week (listening to James yap on!!) sometimes hitting 23k a week, running cross country in the muck, wind, rain, hail and sun (once in March I think), on the turbo trainer for 2 hour sets where the shirt is changed 2 to 3 times and the neighbours must think your nuts because the music is at level 41 and there is a guy shouting every few minutes. Then out with Dolmen in all kinds of weather to do all kinds of crazy distances with fella’s who are RAShardened and always able for more and to go hard. The winter for me was hard work up to 16/17 sessions a week, so when the race season starts I think… nice one I have to ease back in training so I can race.
