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!

Rollers 60min

 Doing a bit of body maintenance now. Lunges, foam rolling etc, the lunges with left leg forwards really hits the right quad which would go with my pattern of injuries.

Rollers 60min

 Core
20min with George and Ella - had to be seen to be believed. George loves joining in - he's better at scissor kicks (lying on your back and lifting alternate legs up) than both of us.

Brick

60min rollers

5km run

Probably the best run so far. Still bad with some pain etc, but so much better than this time last year - with horrible cramping hamstrings (short psoas and quads from too much bike training!)

Weigh in 69.9Kg

 Swim

2km with 6 x 250min at 65 strokes a minute.

Happy to see the weight below 70kg, not sure what the target is. Relaxed about this these days. I guess it would be good to get to 68.5Kg that would mean carrying the water bottles for free?
