Going around corners - a bit more technical than I thought

Usually on a Saturday morning we have a training session with Lynley Brown.  We are just a few motivated ladies wanting to get better at what we do.  We are very fortunate that we have Lynley guiding us because she has certainly been there done that and has even won some ironman events. 

Because today is a public holiday we all decided that this morning would be perfect to go out for our session.  I am really pleased the weather man got the prediction wrong and instead of gusty southerlies it turned out to be the most beautiful sunny day with blue skies. 

For our session today we did a bit of a bike ride which was lovely.  The same route we would do in the Kapiti Women's Triathlon and I have to say when I first did it, it felt quite long, but today felt incredibly manageable.

Lynley focused mostly on going around corners safely without compromising on speed.  Quite a lot to think about like getting enough speed to glide around the corner or roundabout and which foot should be down and which foot should be up and and so on.  I think it is going to take some practise getting used to it.
