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!

Run

10km up a mountain
I had planned to do a circuit but at the top of Blencathra decided to come back the way I went. There was only 1 hour of daylight left and it seemed a treacherous descent. It's a very human instinct to push on - There's a book called "deep survival' that talks about this so I took its advice and went back the way I came.
