Last night I headed out for a hard cycle, similar to what it will be like at next week's triathlon. Very hilly, about 12 miles. I pushed hard and was seeing bright flashing lights at one point! It was tough going.
With about 1 mile left to the finish, I took a real bad cramp in my troublesome right calf muscle. Ouch! Got home ok and then headed out for a run.
This is my first real run straight after a cycle - and boy was it weird. The legs just were like jelly and running was very difficult. I ran about a mile, as my calf was still giving me bother.
With one week to go, this has shown me that even though it is a short triathlon, it is still going to be very tough! Oh boy...

I got into Tri's 3 yrs ago, I love it! Really like the mixed training. Hope you stick at it, as it's brilliant to see how much you improve over the months. I am back to the begining at the mo, as I had a shoulder injury last october and it really slowed things down, so my sympathies are with you as I was out on the bike yesterday, very hilly too! Hope it goes well next week and remember to ease off and do nothing a couple of days before! Good to see you having a go!
