In fact by this time next week the race will be over and it will all be done an dusted. I&#8217;m off to the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya, Turkey where I&#8217;ll be competing for Team-GB in the 40-44 year old Age-Group. Training has been going well, although I am a little tired at the moment but hopefully a week of relative rest will see me well recovered and up to speed for the race. It might not of course, but I intend to enjoy it however well (or badly) I perform.<\/p>\n<p>As usual there is a lot to organise before going away, supplies need to be bought, bags packed and paperwork, passports etc need to be in order. I usually change my tyres on my bike and get my bike race-ready before packing it away. I have one ride on it in race trim before taking it apart and putting it in the box so on Firday I cleaned it changed the tyres and gave it a checkover before heading out on a ride. I&#8217;m glad I did mind you as the front tyre was looking a little worse for wear. I&#8217;ve barely used this tyre, I&#8217;ve only done about 50 miles on it so I&#8217;m glad I was checking it ready for a race as I may not have checked it otherwise and would have ended up making repairs out on the road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-13586 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre2-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Accident waiting to happen\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre2-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre2-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre2.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13588'>\n\t\t\t\tAccident waiting to happen\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Tyre\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-13587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tyre.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-13587'>\n\t\t\t\tTyre\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The ride went well though. I was feeling pretty tired and didn&#8217;t feel as though I was going that well, but once I got home and uploaded things to Strava I had managed a PB for the Borth Loop in an anti-clockwise direction. I don&#8217;t ride it in this direction very often, but PB&#8217;s are always good all the same. <\/p>\n<p><iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='http:\/\/app.strava.com\/activities\/58809805\/embed\/e3f33a3383a7270319c2eccfffc2e47f5057719b'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I then did a short 20 minute run off the bike. By this time I was even more tired and the run felt even less great &#8211; needless to say there were no PB&#8217;s here. I&#8217;m looking forward to my taper week now.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning it was time to pack the bike into it&#8217;s box ready for the flights to Turkey. I could probably get almost all of my luggage into the bike box, but don&#8217;t want to put all of my eggs into one basket just in case anything gets lost. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13589\" style=\"width: 368px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bike-Box.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bike-Box-358x480.jpg\" alt=\"Bike-Box\" width=\"358\" height=\"480\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bike-Box-358x480.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bike-Box-89x120.jpg 89w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bike-Box.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bike-Box<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I shall be packing as much as I can into my hand luggage. I may take a small third bag as well with clothes distributed evenly amongst the bags and bike box, although I won&#8217;t need too much in the way of clothes as it&#8217;s gong to be hot in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Talking of the heat, I think that is the biggest unknown as far as the race goes for me. Most of my training is done in temperatures of 10&deg;C or less. We&#8217;ve had a few days a little warmer than that lately but as I often train early in the morning I haven&#8217;t had much time to acclimatise. I have sat in the sauna a few times over the past couple of weeks though. However, temperatures in Alanya at the moment are anywhere between 20&deg;C overnight and reach a maximum 35&deg;C or more during the day. My race starts early in the morning so I&#8217;m hoping it&#8217;ll be on the cooler side of these figures, but even so it&#8217;s a lot warmer than anything I&#8217;ve ever trained or raced in. We&#8217;ll just have to see how well I adapt.<\/p>\n<p>The other unknown of course is the competition. As always there are some pretty fast looking people in my age-group so it should be quite a race. I&#8217;m looking forward to it now though and I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll all get to hear how it goes. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t got long to go now. In fact by this time next week the race will be over and it will all be done an dusted.
