Liz McTernan: ParaTriathlete: January 2011
http://lizmcternantri1feat.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Thursday, 27 January 2011. To try or not to try? Training this week was meant to be a bit more intense but I can't fit the three sessions for each sport in without major muscle soreness and fatigue. On the plus side I joined Meridian as a member and don't have to sneak into the sauna anymore when I am blue from swimming. The timing is awful with me only being back to training for 3.5 weeks. I know that I need. To beat a time of 34:58 for 5km to place third in the world (standards ar...

Liz McTernan: ParaTriathlete: World Triathlon Championships in Beijing
http://lizmcternantri1feat.blogspot.com/2011/09/world-triathlon-championships-in.html
Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Saturday, 17 September 2011. World Triathlon Championships in Beijing. Of course, this meant rest, but my race was only a week away. I'd already been training at quite high intensity for two weeks with my injury, so it seemed sensible to take it easy. Now I am looking forward to County Masters and East Midlands disability swimming competitions in October if my shoulder holds out, then a well deserved rest before starting winter training.

Liz McTernan: ParaTriathlete: July 2011
http://lizmcternantri1feat.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Friday, 22 July 2011. This is me on my bike in Spain at the Europeans, which was a tough course, with a long gradual climb but an equally long downhill. I reckon the pasta lunch and wispa ice-cream before the race must be the answer. I'm hoping that I can do my next Triathlon bike race split in 46:00 (distance of 20km) which would be a massive 8:04mins faster than my first flat course race at Holmepeirre Pont in May. Friday, 15 July 2011. Today I finally managed to be faster in a we...

Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Thursday, 30 June 2011. Gosh, what a fantastic competition! It was amazing to be cheered on by so many Brits, in Pontevedra. Competing as age groupers, plus the Spanish crowds shouting bravo in my first International and only fourth triathlon! That silver medal though as it was a tough course in 43 degree heat. It's just a shame that there are no other Tri. I had time to watch the elite men running through the historic streets of Pontevedra. Then cheekily asked Alistair for a piccy.

Liz McTernan: ParaTriathlete: Coniston Water 2.4 mile/3.8km swim
http://lizmcternantri1feat.blogspot.com/2011/08/coniston-water-24-mile38km-swim.html
Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Tuesday, 23 August 2011. Coniston Water 2.4 mile/3.8km swim. Getting up at 5am to drive hundreds of miles for four hours to swim 2.4 miles in Coniston Water must be some people's idea of madness, but I had a great day! I've never swum so far in the pool or open water, so it was a real taste of what an Ironman distance swim would be like. I plan to do Ironman in two or three years time, with an attempt at Kona if possible. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Liz McTernan: ParaTriathlete: April 2011
http://lizmcternantri1feat.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Friday, 29 April 2011. Surprisingly, this is how we looked after my first ever Duathlon (3km run/10km bike/3km run) and Layla's first race of the season. Spalding Tri Club put on a great, friendly race and I got plenty of encouragement along the way from everyone. It may have been a flat course but the wind certainly made up for it. Just as I thought Robbie the racer was going really well, or my technique had improved dramatically, we turned into the wind for the second lap. Still, ...

Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Wednesday, 21 March 2012. Swim Smooth Clinic and Huub suit. I attended my second Swim Smooth clinic yesterday, at Corby International Pool, to brush up on my Freestyle stroke technique and see the innovative new Huub suit which will be released next month. My size 8 jeans are no longer shapeless. So this suit was almost a perfect fit, although had a bit of excess around the midriff that the size smaller would eliminate. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Http:/ aspire.org.uk. Monday, 28 March 2011. Sunshine and shorts last Friday on a ride round Woodhall Spa with Layla. I'm really pleased with the work TFN have done on my bike; it switched gears beautifully, I didn't get any shoulder pain and my helmet and tri suit were comfy. I only lost the chain once and that was my fault for trying to switch to the granny cog. Layla popped it back on and wiped the oil onto her leg! Sunday, 20 March 2011. Volunteer Marshalling at Dambuster Duathlon. This is me smiling...
