Disaster banked! Saturday down here in Australia. On the bike at 5.15am, the weather is warm but a rainy night, so it made my decision to join in easier.
Numbers were pretty much spot on, 4.15 h, 263/264 TSS, 0.79 IF, 2683/2681 kJ, NP 203, Power 175, HR 126, Cadence 89.
No stops or coasting, 2 bananas, 2 Hammer bars, 3 Shotz gels and 5 bottles of electrolyte only with 2 Shots tablets per bottle.
I watched āIronmindā first, then whatever came up after, Lionel Sanders and Bob Babbitt interview at Canyon HQ and then Babbitt with Taylor Phinney. After this Spotify went on and Rammstein, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, Slipknot and The Cult got me through the second last set of sprint intervals to the finish.
There were stages at the end where I actually had goose bumps knowing that I wasnāt doing this alone! I was having fun.
I was having that much fun, that I had a run off the bike. (Triathlete OCD)
I challenge any other tri-geeks to run off as well.
Have fun and enjoy DISASTER!

Iāve had the song āBeautiful Disasterā by 311 in my head all day thinking about tomorrow. Iām a bit sore from todayās run, but Iām going to try and get through it. Next week will definitely be a recovery week.

Disaster completed here in the West of Ireland. Took a coffee break before the threshold intervals and then struggled a little with those as my trainer kept reverting back to ERG mode which frankly just doesnāt work for me with short high power intervals. Otherwise what a great way to spend the morning on a wet and windy day. Well done everyone!!!

Right On!
And done. The sweet spot/ sprint combo was a killer. Most proud of the fact I didnāt bail when my device crashed to be honest, as everything else was just nuts!

So far weāve got a pretty good run going. Only one or two early finishes and just because of a time constraint.
