The build part two

Kia ora guys,

Well it’s exactly a year to the weekend that I smashed out my second ironman, and as I watch footage of athletes from last year I am reminded of how amazing the sport is and as such I have jumped on my bike and currently doing a session midday sweating my butt off 🤣

So, build part two; for the last few months I have been clocking up km’s on the bike and focusing on key swim sessions from Perth’ swim smooth group and as such have done a fair amount of benchmarking as I enter phase to of my re-build.

This week I posted a strong FTP (bike test) to test my bike strength on my RevBox wind trainer and posted a 265 watt FTP and in the pool I set my CSS (Swim strength test) and posted a 1.27 min/100m

It’s funny, I found I was doubting myself coming into these sessions because of anxiety over a number.... even though with minimal expectations I found I was judging myself.

To be honest, I don’t have the answer but I feel it might be because of how strong I was last year and although I know where my priorities have been for the last year, I guess a side feels others would judge.

It’s funny how the ol mind work’s and if you don’t realize it there is potential for some people this could restrict them from achieving their best or pushing themselves out of their comfort zone (just something for you to be aware of as self awareness is so key).

So with that said, before we go to deep here, I have my benchmark and this next effort is going to help me increase it.

Until next time, keep on thinking fit!
