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!

70km cycle - conversational pace, Richmond park
Stretching afterwards
Would have run but letting calf recover

Listened to interview with Kimberly Baldwin -

She won national cycling championships in US. Interesting to hear what training she was doing with T-mobile. Her best wattage for an hour was 270-280.  Lots of gym work - squats, step ups, back extensions, swiss ball/core work. Winter strength training cadence would go as low as 45/min (not recommended for mortals - I was always told to keep cadence above 60/min if possible to avoid injury)
