Triathlon 7 - 52x52 Challenge
Friday 11/02/22
Number Seven
Swim - 28.34
Bike - 1.23.12
Run - 1.06.11
Triathlon 7/52 done this morning. I am looking forward to seeing the numbers get more even!
My body aches so much. I have changed my training in the week to two dynamic weight sessions plus my sea swims and then leave my cardio to my triathlon day. But it’s early days and weights are new to me and as such every single muscle is screaming at me. My whole upper body hurts like hell. It made the triathlon today the hardest so far.
I was going to blog today about so many different things that have affected my head, including the body at the beach and the mental resilience that the young Starrs we are fundraising for go through, and all that hugely important stuff. But that’ll have to wait for another week. Instead I am simply going to write the word BRUTAL. And then say it again BRUTAL. And once for luck BRUTAL. This challenge of 52x52 Triathlons is friggin BRUTAL 🙄

Triathlon 52 - 52x52 Challenge
A short blog to end; Triathlon 52/52 done. So pleased it’s over. Lots of money raised for the Starr Trust and I really hope it continues as there are so many young people who need our help.
Triathlon 51 - 52x52 Challenge
That was one of the hardest yet both physically and mentally. Physically because my back is still in muscle spasm, caused by a Crohn's flare up that needed rest but didn’t get it. Mentally because the whole triathlon was done gym based, which meant no sea, no air, no trees, no birds - just a clock telling me I’ve hardly started!
