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!

Cycle

110km
aerobic out to IDE hill - 3 loops with friend who is training for this year's etape du tour.
It's the site of the oldest cycle race in the world.

The back wheel span on a couple of occasions which was disconcerting. It was a reminder to keep pedalling smoothly. Mountain bikers have the best pedalling action as uneven power (stamping on the pedals) makes the wheel spin with lost traction.
Planned to run off the bike but I was way too wet and feet too cold to risk it.
Quite a lot of fatigue in the legs from the strength focus yesterday.
