Not much to report after yesterday's PT session, other than we are concentrating on upper body weights. Kristy showed me two new exercises; the first was like training to be a Spiderman double (or a particularly drunken walk home from the pub) while the second was really like trying to pick a fight in a night club. Both require a physical demonstration as words are not enough. And on a training note, both are very good at targeting particular muscle groups.
Tonight's exertions were again rewarded with personal bests, of which there will be many in the forthcoming months until the weight loss slows and the real work begins.
My fifth 5k was 28 minutes 58 seconds.
(The fourth was completed on Tuesday after 40 minutes of Spinning and took 30 minutes 20 seconds.)
The 750m swim time has broken the target posted Triathlon entry time of 13 minutes and 50 seconds.
Personally, I'm giving myself a big pat on the back being able to produce these times even though my weight is still abundantly above "normal", so I celebrate with an entire pack of Salt and Vinegar Rice Pringles with Tzatziki dip. Food of the Gods.
Current weight is 15 stones and 7 pounds (217 pounds / 98.5 kg).

The swim time worries me, the best hope is in the transition, if you still have difficulty bensing down to tie your shoe laces?
Actually, I've got elasticated speed laces now, which turn trainers into slip-ons. Genius.
(But I can bend down pretty easily now, thanks for asking!)
