Quick update between the end of a couple of triathlon / swim weeks and the start of an intensive swim week coming up on 1 May. Weve just finished a cross-over week of separate visitors - the first having a refresh of a Swim Video Analysis and bike training ready for a Sportive in Scotland. With an improved stroke since his last visit in July we worked on improving his catch and stroke rate whilst maintaining a good alignment developed over the last few months. A few bikes rides with Dave were completed with a 2k hill repetition session and we had Amy join as her first session - literally only hours after arriving. This was followed by pool and open water swims for Dave and Amy - in fairly choppy conditions but all coped well. Charlie then arrived for the start of the triathlon / swim week where we had a swim session for all filming Amy and Charlie followed by stroke correction for all three. Dave had to leave early for Stockholm on Tuesday and the week continued with more swim sessions, open water swims and a long day of bike, pool swim, bike, run on the sea front, sea swim and a final bike - a long but enjoyable day. The final day for Charlie saw a long ride into the mountains, including a visit to the Aitana, with a quick detour to see some tigers at Aitana Safara; 4hr 20min riding with only 78k covered but also 1650m ascending. The day was rounded off with a relaxed 2000m swim. Charlie and Amy departed with improved swim technique - and particularly evident when observed underwater in the sea swims - plenty of bike and run miles and, probably the most important - tan lines to be displayed back home in the UK!
