Rebuilding July

After a disastrous June, I was able to slowly turn things around in July.

The training load was not big and a long way from originally planned, but I was getting back some consistency, especially with the running. I even managed to get in two weeks of 3 swim sessions which bodes well from August and September. Included in the swims was a 1km TT with wetsuit in 16m19s (which is 1m38s per 100m).

The bike riding remained at only once a week which is not ideal. However there was a bit of quality in the those rides, so I can definitely feel that I made some improvements.  The riding included 1-in-20 and The Wall climbs in the Dandenongs and a 2nd place on both the Humphries Rd and Balcombe Hill KOMs in the Ronde of Bayside (a long way off winning the overall KOM for the ride).

The running was generally around 5 times a week and managed a 52km week. Which probably explains why the Plenty race went so much better than the Kew race in June.

In general, I managed to do in July what I really wanted to do in June.
