Well, its almost March. The sun is out again today, last weekend was gorgeous for training by the sea, and the first race of the early or pre-triathlon season is coming up on Sunday. It’s starting to feel like spring already! We’ve had a fairly mild winter out by the Gower but I’ll still be glad to be coming out of it.
On Sunday I’ll be running in the Llanelli half-marathon which goes out and back, and then out and back the other way by the sea. It’s fairly flat, but a bit windy as a rule, and usually has a good field of proper runners from the South Wales area. I struggled with injured calves last year but this week I’m fit and strong so it’ll be good to see what I can do. My main aim will be linked to pacing though, and ensuring a negative split. I love racing and can’t wait until Sunday, but I need to temper my starting efforts.
Are any of you racing this week?
