Short week

I've finished work now, so will be able to spend more time training. My week since the last update has included the following:

30/8 - Tennis.
31/8 - 2k in 6:58.5 (@32), weights and core. Played golf in the afternoon, some good bits, some bad.
1/9 - 10k @20 in 38:58.2. Went off too fast, got really tired and suffered for about 6k.
2/9 - Tennis and then a 60' Fartlak in the afternoon. Not a bad effort in terms of distance (15,122m), but I felt like I wasn't sitting up straight enough. I need to address this - make sure I am sitting with my back straight at front stops. Perhaps I should just move the screen up a bit higher.
3/9 - Long bike ride. Upchurch x2 in 2h29:23. Thats the equivalent to two lots of the Upchurch ride, but without about 9 minutes of cycling from house to roundabout and back. So I reckon thats about 1h19 or so for each.

I am now officially on the trialling e-mail list. I think Thursday will be my 2k test this week. Pasta Wednesday night and then power on Thursday. Tactics are to avoid going out so fast and sprint the last 250m properly this time (target 6:50-6:55).
