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!

am: Turbo
40mins 90rpm
40mins 95rpm
40mins 100rpm
20mins 90rpm
Aerobic throughout
15min run off bike concentrating on form.

pm: 10km run
"recovery pace" 50mins approx.

Felt pretty stale and demotivated this morning - got on the bike and after 10mins felt great. It's days like this I need to remember, it's important to give it a go and see if the fatigue shakes off or stays, otherwise you'd never train.

Made some changes to the bike position (as usual!) saddle forward as want to take the strain of the hamstrings. Feet forwards (cleats back) to take load off calves. Feet out as lateral knees were a bit sore.
Ideally i'd like to get further forward so I could add a longer stem as the bike handling has a lot to be desired (longer stem = more movement for the same degree of steering therefore feels more stable)
