In our weekly meeting, I told Dr Stalpers how I was actually starting to feel some muscle fatigue, although mentally I am feeling fine. He was listening intently, and making notes. I followed this up with...
'...and I have only swum 2km this afternoon on my way here...'
To which he immediately stopped writing, looked up and laughed out loud.
He said that my triathlon training before and during the radiotherapy treatment schedule has helped me to respond so well, with almost no noticeable side effects.
My triathlon training this week has increased in intensity, with a target training heartrate of 152 - 166 bpm. My schedule for this week is as follows:
Monday: REST!
Tuesday: 2km swim, 8km run
Wednesday: 60km bike
Thursday: 2km swim, 8km run
Friday: 50km bike
Saturday: REST!
Sunday: 120km bike
I am going to be competing in Monaco, but rest assured, I am not just there to make up the numbers!!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe the training you are doing Bondy. My head gets dizzy just reading about it. Good stuff though mate now you have only one more treatment to have.
The pic was taken at Schipholdijk, just outside of Amsterdam.
