A photo from a recent middle distance triathlon that I suffered through. It is the local event that also has accreditation to be the Swedish Championship for Middle Distance.
It had been my plan to train quite seriously for this, having had a few excursions to Couchlandria in the last 12 months, but life got in the way and, according to the plan I downloaded, I only really completed the strength and yoga.
These were helpful but just not enough to give top performance on the bike. After my conditioning fell away on the second bike lap, it was only discomfort and suffering.
