Back in The Swing
April 30th, 2010 | by fredrik.eriksson |Took a trip through the countryside on my bike last Sunday. It was my first ride since Portland Triathlon last September. It felt great to be in the saddle again and it gave me the triathlon itch. But I’m still “pretty” sure I won’t compete this year.
I also jumped into the pool a couple of times this week. Unlike the bike, it’s hard to pick up swimming after a prolonged layoff. Let’s say I didn’t feel stellar going up and down the lane. It will get better.
My goal is to run the Portland Triathlon on 10-10-10. Unfortunately, my left Achilles tendon has flared up and I’m getting a bit concerned. I’m going to hold back a bit over the next few weeks and try to maintain enough base to embark on another 16-week training schedule in June.
