It was a long time since I last posted – well – I’m back.
To recap – the well deserved break I had. I was just chilling at home during the University break, catching up with some friends and family. Did stuff I don’t normally get time to do. Could a day consist of 24+ hours? That’s what it felt like – I checked every hour and only 10 minutes passed. Long, long days. When University started again, I had some catching up to do.
After the three week training break, we started very gradually. I felt … kind of unfit? The first swim session …. wow, was really bad …. I thought I was drowning. It felt so ... unnatural? Or maybe I was just not used to training a lot. We are currently in a base phase – so no miracles expected in the upcoming races.
Yesterday and today again testing was conducted at the High Performance Centre in Pretoria for the HP triathletes. On Friday we did the run-bike-run test, cybex and FMA. The bike test was very hard … or am I unfit and not in good shape? But I survived and was ready to face the next day.
Last night, I attended the TUKS Sports Awards Banquet. This was really something special. Thank you to everyone involved.
Today (Saturday) we did the swim test as part of High Performance testing. I thought it didn’t went to bad…
Tomorrow is racing at the BSG Energade triathlon in Germiston!!! Yes, I will participate, don’t know about the racing part, but will still do my best.
Thank you to our Tuks team manager Conrad for all the support. Thank you to my sponsors Nike, Orca, CycleOps and Tuks Triathlon for all the new, nice goodies.
Remember – pain heals and glory lasts forever.
Cheers
Rudolf
