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!

5 Weeks to go

Road cycle 91km 4hrs

I was going to cycle with the tri club on the same circuit but they left at 8.30. It is fathers' day and it was raining so I set off at 10am.
Kept the pace very comfortable on the road bike but fuelled the same as for a race. It went really well. My right leg was really good for once this time I had left knee pain - seems like there's always something. It got me thinking perhaps the right is doing all the work. Anyway that's half an ironman cycle so it's been good for the confidence.
Soon as I was back it was time to take the kids to the park - that was a workout in itself as well.
