Good stuff. Very impressed by the run especially.
Sadly I've had my left ITB flare up like crazy. I put it down to stress of exams, stressing about replacing my bike and not backing off on the training enough to compensate.
Not even able to run 10km at the moment which is pretty brutal considering the 42km coming up in 6 weeks. Going to do a week of yoga and strengthening and just hope I can get to a point where I'm not walk/limping for 32+km. I'll still be well inside of cutoff... if I'm able to... but nowhere near a time goal.
On the plus side, the swim and the cycle are good. Legs felt amazing on the bike only 2 days after exams. Even popped in a quick(ish) lap of Richmond park at the end to make 100km and they still felt super strong.
Slowly getting used to swimming outdoors and getting the wetsuit to actually fit properly.
Tested out nutrition yesterday and my stomach performed admirably. I've never finished 5 hours of exercise feeling full of energy. No tummy troubles whatsoever. I've clearly never fuelled properly in my life.
