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!

Rest

Ella down in London so on full time childcare. Did do a fair bit of cycling with them on the tricycle - I think that counts.

Swim

7 x 310m at 65 strokes per minute on 1 minute recovery.

It's a 31 meter pool (I think) so 10 lengths = 310m. Still working on raising the stroke rate - it's starting to feel a lot more comfortable. Swimming is the only thing that's pain free at the moment - I hope it stays that way.

DIY down in London - 12 years of little jobs to do in 3 days. Bed was a sleeping bag on the floor. Flat out.

Second run with Ella this year. Explored the new area. I fairly running disabled at the moment - really tight right adductor. Don't know how i'm going to get round the Ironman. Physio time.

some new drills - skulling and doggie paddle (underarm recovery) - amazing it puts you in the perfect catch position.
