It's all over

Well finally made it!!! 

Was a crazy day! Temperatures were 28C +!!!

Still not sure of the splits (or even my finish time) but I think the swim went well. Came out feeling fresh and the first 90miles on the bike also went well...

But then the batteries went flat and there was nothing left for the run - which is why it was over 5hrs!!! Rubbish!

Considering all the problems during the build up I know I can do better. But at the moment only 1% of me wants to test that theory!

Anyhew, thank you for reading this and for all the support. If it's encouraged you to have a go yourself (are you crazy) let me know and I will be happy to help! :-)

The night before...

Crazy hot in Port Elizabeth. 27C today and predicted to be even hotter. Got to get the nutrition and fluids right or it will be a short race!

Registration and racking of the bike today. All went well. Just want to get started now. Hopefully this time tomorrow will have a medal in hand!

Having an early night now. Alarm goes off at 5am. Race starts at 7!!

Port Elizabeth

Arrived Port Elizabeth at 5pm. Some big waves out there and pretty hot! Just had an awesome steak though! Time for an early night!

Arrived SA

Well, finally here in sunny Cape Town. Arrived 10am this morning. 
The build up has not been brilliant! In the last 5mths of training for this event I've suffered shoulder probs, knee probs, chest probs, etc. 
If this all sounds like pre race excuse's your darn right!!!
All seems very daunting at the moment!!!
Anyhew, we travel to Port Elizabeth tomorrow, where the race takes place. Will be about 8hrs driving... 
Blimey - am currently in Pringle Bay coffee shop and we've just been invaded by a baboon on the scrounge!!!
Ho hum!

Cycle – 13.5mls

Finally back in the saddle!

It’s been TWO weeks since been able to do any training! This bug has been horrendous! Feel completely out of shape and the race is only about 5 weeks away!

Hopefully i will be back in the pool over the weekend and then try and get back to a normal training week from Monday.

And a big, HUGE thanks to all who have provided sponsorship!

Daily Training

No blogs for a while... which is because I’ve been struck down with a bad case of EbolaBubonicMan Flue! Haven’t done any training at all since last Friday! Almost a week!!! Arghhh....

Finally got the ‘Just Giving’ web site sorted!

Had a decent cycle today. Alarm went off at 5:45am and was on the road not too long after. Was cream crackered in the evening though. Probably have a bit of a rest day tomorrow.
