So it's been a while hasn't it Tri couplets? It's been a very up and down month with the training pressures for Warwick increasing and real life accelerating away with both of us, making it difficult to step back and review what's really been happening.
If you can cast your minds back a few weeks, as per the usual routine it was time Warwick to slip into race mode and compete in the local triathlon club league. As they still believe it to be "winter" they're currently only running an Aquathlon, a 400 metre swim followed by a quick 5km around the local park. Short and fast with no need to consider food or hydration it’s a pure test of speed. With a swim time of 5:57 and a run of 18:43 timing are perfectly where Warwick has to be sat at the moment. Although the end result was exactly what we were aiming for, as soon as the word 'go' was shouted, the pacing strategy agreed on was thrown out and it became a game for Warwick to chase down the person who started in front of him. This is something we're working on, his pure addiction to catching the person ahead isn't always required but removing the instinct is going to take time. As the results came it became clear that the chasing efforts had done their job with Warwick finishing almost two minutes before the closest athlete. It's reassuring to know that the hard work put in over the winter has been worth it and he's currently sitting where he should be.
Away from training and back in the real world of non triathlon there has been a big development for both Warwick & Jodie finally after many months of living 70 miles apart from each other this weekend Warwick has finally made the move down to South Coast permanently. Although he'll still be racing representing Blackwater the fair majority of the Jodie and Warwick's adventures will be conducted near the seaside!
