TRIATHLON TRAINING

Swimming, Loch Morlich

Biking below Meall a' Bhuacaille

Run, An Slugain




The odd technical bit

Some sun over Loch Morlich

Rain clearing by late morning
Karen and I were out today training for the upcoming Aviemore Triathlon. Well when I say 'we' I mean I was along for a bike ride while Karen actually did the 3 disciplines! We set off in rain this morning, biking from the house to Loch Morlich where the event will start. Therefore we did more than is expected on the day :) It dried up by late morning and the clouds lifted off the Cairngorms. A nice, stiff breeze to keep the midges at bay.
So here are the stats: 750m swim followed by 12km off road bike ride, 8km off road run  (plus 25km bike there and back) & finishing off at the The Glenmore cafe making it a carbon and calorie neutral day out:)
