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!

Swim

Warm up 5 x 100m 15 sec recovery
Easy pull 1 x 1500m
Upper aerobic 1 x 1500m
Very easy pull 5 x 50m

Total distance 3250m

Upper aerobic pace was 27-28sec/25m
Some right shoulder pain - this is related to thumb first entry into the water which i'm trying to correct but it's fairly ingrained.
There's a sprint triathlon tomorrow at crystal palace which I plan to do for the race simulation and transition practice rather than getting a good time.

Following the back strain yesterday I think it's probably related to my QL (quadratus lumborum) I found a great stretch for it
