Haha, no buying speed but doing the one thing that <5% of triathletes do and actually practice transition!
In other news I’m looking forward to some tris this season, not least because I’ve finally tried to fix my swimming rather than just getting fitter, first big step was using my left arm (big crash in 2016 meant I was protecting it unconsciously), then actually kicking, but next up is head position, rotation and breathing on both sides, helped massively by swimming 2x per week and one session where I’m sitting on the feet of a proper swimmer doing 40x100, CSS has dropped from 1:45 in December to 1:28, given at my fittest I was about 1:30 I’m pretty happy, also enjoying dropping club mates at will my weekly club sessions, especially as one of them told me in feb I could make it into the fast lane at club sessions any more….
First race of the season is a weekday sprint on 1st June then Windsor Olympic 10 days later, not sure what after that, I’d like to do a middle distance race but looking for a suitable local one I can fit around the family, ideally before training before London marathon really kicks in as I’d like to go sub 2:50 there…
