The penultimate week of training before the big day, and it wasn't a good one, the knee was/is still giving me a bit of a worry, so the large part of the week's training was in the pool.
Saturday 10th April - Bike 25.6km
After the disappointment of the previous day's run where my knee didn't react well I opted for going out on my bike. I headed towards the nearest mountain, going up from 100m to over 400m before turning back. In hindsight I shouldn't have gone, it seems the knee doesn't react well to the bike, it swelled up a bit afterwards and a little uncomfortable for a couple of days afterwards. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the ride, it was a clear day so when I turned back to head home I had a good view out to sea.
25.57km 3:13min/km 1:22:21
Sunday 11th April - Rest Day
Monday 12th April - Swim 750m
I could have done a full kilometre but given the discomfort in my knee over the weekend I opted to take it easy and just do 750m.
750m 24min/km 18min
Tuesday 13th April - Rest Day
Wednesday 14th April - 1,000m Swim
Did a full kilometre this time and went fairly quick too, without any problems in either my knee or level of fitness so all positive.
1,000m 26min
Thursday 15th April - Rest Day
Friday 16th April - 1,000m
Back to the pool again, another km, again at a fairly good pace. No problems.
1,000m 26min
