Blenheim Triathlon, 15 weeks to Berlin, 7 weeks to Alpe d'Huez

I'm one week into a 16 week countdown to the Berlin Marathon, and 7 weeks away from taking part in the short course Alpe d'Huez triathlon.

Last week saw team 'Sports Casual' place 14th out of 244 in the Blenheim Palace Triathlon Team Relay, where I picked up the swim leg, Jules steamed round on his bike and Rich finished it off with a cracking run. Total time, 1h 17m. (Download the relay results)

Here's a summary of the week's exercise:

Week commencing Sunday 6th June

Total exercise: 7h 22m
Distance covered: 132km

• 104km cycling (73km training; 31km commuting)
  
• 23km running
• 1 hour of five-a-side football
• 600m swimming

Slightly cheating there on distance as I did my long cycle on Sunday last week and on Saturday this week, so I expect next week's distance to drop a little, although I hope to add in an extra mid-week session.
