Did my 4th Laguna Phuket triathlon yesterday, on minimal training, but with decent return on investment (= time and effort invested). Was 2 slower on the swim than last year but so was everybody else. Given that I hadnt swum at all in 4 months, I must say I am quite happy of my swim split... On the other hand, why training if I get a top 5 swim accross all age groups with doing nothing... Food for thought. As I knew that I was not in shape, I decided to ride on my beloved road bike (without aerobars) just to see. And I saw: 8 slower than last year, scores of people passed me and I just couldnt follow the trains on the flat. Aerobars are not overrated ! I was curious to see the run. Again, without proper training for 4 months, I was only 2 slower than last year....hum...again, makes me wonder a bit, why train ? Anyway, it feels awesome to do a race only for pleasure with no pressure, to be just fit enough to do it without feeling miserable. I had the best of both worlds yesterday. Now, back to real training, hunger is back !
