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!

Core

Usual routine

Swim

50m warm up
1500m at race pace

I was pushed for time as I only like Will to be in the creche for an hour. So I decided to go for it and see if I could knock out the 1500m in one go rather than in intervals. I managed it.
Two main lessons were;
1. Breathing out when underwater is the first thing to go technique wise
2. I became faster as it progressed. This seemed to be associated with lengthening the stroke a little as I warmed up, and not rushing it.

Yoga
Late night, only 3 people!
