Woo-hoo! They did it! 🎉We’re still buzzing from yesterday's graduation where we celebrated cohort 14's incredible achievement with the awesome team at Microsoft HQ Reading!🔥

@dn1el_lszl0 Thanks! Completed a standard (Olympic) distance. There were a big mix, some hardcore people and some novices like myself!

Day 43 of #triathlontraining

The day has come.

I have now completed #myfirsttriathlon.

Bit of fear going into it with some knee troubles a week and a half a go but, all in all, I was confident that Id get it done.

Pretty solid timing to be fair. Deffo a little sore today.

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Thanks guys, very proud of myself ngl, onto the next one up!

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Time for an update.

I always thought a busy time would be best for keeping track of coding and triathlon but although I've had quite a bit to talk about, I've found tweeting about it a low priority task so its been neglected. But I'll put some updates here soon.

@catherineg478 @theSchoolOfCode Ahh appreciate it Catherine! It's always a pleasure and I know you'll do brilliant things!

Day 75 of #100daysofcode

Hopped on again with @catherineg478 and did some wireframing, going places already!
Also planned out and began implementing a feature for my portfolio iterating on an idea I'd seen online. Working well for now, got some more functionality to add!

Day 73/74 of #100daysofcode
Did some backend testing using mocha and chai. Also planned out a new project with @catherineg478, which will be fun! Had a plan of my portfolio which I plan on putting together over this week, maybe next too.

@s_d_001 Nice one Saynab! The app looked awesome!

Day 42 of #triathlontraining

A very hard parkrun this morning. Very hot and took alot of mental resilience to keep the pace up. Got it done, a little under the pace I intended, but no stress.. Gonna take it easy now, my knees feeling a little sensitive.

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Day 41 of #triathlontraining
Did a long swim this morning, almost entirely arms only, working on efficiency with a couple of faster 100s. Feeling very confident for the swim next Sunday, all in all just excited to compete!

Day 73 of #100DaysOfCode
With demo-day concluded, I'll be back on posting a little more! Today @catherineg478 and I hopped on a zoom for a lovely catch up and deployed some of our projects. Also wrote a new blog: https://t.co/MWHlvb8bgo
Have a read if you like!

Day 40 of #triathlontraining

First time at track today, was good fun! 2 minutes on 2 minutes recovery and maintain speed throughout each rep. Only 8 reps so not a huge distance covered, but a real challenge. Different to my usual training. Couple of drills and a warm down too.

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Day 38 and 39 of #triathlontraining

2 swims in 2 days, couple races yesterday too which was fun! Feeling confident on the swim and cycle section, just hope the legs hold out for the run!

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Day 72 of #100DaysOfCode

Been very i consistent with documenting my 100 days, probably would have finished by now tbh. Yesterday went through and ironed out/noted down any small bugs/fixes for final projects for a quick final edit on Monday. Today added old projects to github!

[Sam Williamson @WilzoCodes]

Day 37 of #triathlontraining

Training has slowed down, will try to up for the next week half and then slow down for the race. Lost my hat in the last 800m here, probably would have got a pb if I didn't have to run back after it. Was a tricky run, first in a couple weeks!

Day 71 of #100daysofcode

Not loads done today, wanted a chill one before the final week of project work. Did 3 leetcode easy and 1 codewars, attempted a couple others but the brain was a little frazzled so I called it a day.
