Welcome

I started this blog in 2010 when there were 11 weeks to go before my next Ironman triathlon. People have found it interesting (mainly my Mum!) so I continue to write.
The Ironman is a long distance triathlon; Swim 2.4miles, Cycle 112miles, Run 26.2 miles (marathon). I have competed in one every year since 2004. I hope this blog can help others see what is involved. I find the process of writing it makes me more accountable and motivates me to do the harder sessions when i'm not feeling like it!

Swim

Wetsuit, Brockwell lido.

800 easy
1000m with every 3rd lap 2arm drill
8x100 easy
2x200 pull and paddles, 2 arm drill down, catch-up back

Total = 3km

Great to get the wetsuit on, finally. I had to enlist the help of two people in the changing room. Loved the buoyancy but will certainly take some getting used to the suit again. You have to work against it a bit which probably means I hadn't put it on properly. I got to grips with the 2 arm drill even if I can't do it very well.

Recovering well from yesterday.

Helped by massage number 2 from Roberto - absolutely top notch.
