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 2hours

Paid the price running too fast yesterday - Managed the 2 hours but was definitely only easy "fall back" pace. It has reminded me to try and stick to the programme and not get carried away. This is what will happen if I am lucky enough to feel like blasting off the bike come the race. Much better to stick to the pace I think I can maintain - you can loose seriously large chunks of time shuffling round the second half of the marathon.

Nearly turned back a couple of times but ended up finishing feeling good - from that point of view it's good to experience that things can improve even when your having a shocker.
